hi yall! I lurk lots but haven't posted in forever. I made a sad discovery in my rear view mirror the other day. My 2 year old (he turns 3 in November) is at the max height for his FPSVD. Yes, you read that right.
Stats:
age: turns 3 on November 10.
weight: 38 lbs
torso height: 16"
overall height: 42"
I really truly thought I was going to get to use this seat well into age 4. I have zero budget for a new seat. Obviously, I'll make it happen, but I am not happy about this.
He has a brother who is 13 months behind him and who is on the same height growth curve (only chunkier) so I'll be doing this again next year.
What should I get? Is a Nautilus the best choice? No way I am scraping together cash for a Britax given how fast these two grow. I guess I just need to figure out what has the best torso height for a 5 pt harness that isn't a britax.
I'm in a Mazda tribute and its just the two of them, so space isn't an issue.
Thanks for any help yall can give me. I'm off to search the boards more for suggestions. I just really haven't been reading up on this since I thought I had a while before I had to worry about it.
