So I know this has been asked a million times but I would love some feedback for our particular situation. My oldest boy turned 5 last month and is in a Graco Nautilus. He is a tall kid with a really long torso and is at the top harness slot (though he has a little room to grow in it still...). He's just under 50 lbs. My middle boy turned 3 a few weeks ago and is forward facing in a Graco MyRide 65. He's not nearly as tall as my oldest but is already at the top harness slots on the my ride. He's 36 lbs. Now, I really am not liking the My Ride at all. I find that it's really hard for him to get in the seat as it's kind of slanted back and the crotch strap seems to sit way too far away from his body. I don't know if this is a safety issue or not but it doesn't seem like it's ideal. I told my hubby that I thought another seat for our 3 year old would be best and asked if it was in the budget. He thinks that we should just buy a booster for our oldest and give the nautilus to our 3 year old. I've been hesitant to do this because I've always thought that a harness was safer. That being said, our oldest really wants a booster seat. His friend rides in a booster - enough said . He's a pretty responsible and mature 5 year old so I don't doubt that he would sit properly in a booster... what are your thoughts? Booster for my oldest or a new seat for my 3 year old? Or should I try to find the love for the My Ride? Thanks for your advice and insight
