6 yo DD is pretty much at the top of her harness in the MA. She is 42-ish inches tall and 35 pounds (give or take a pound). After the MA what do you think would be best for her? She has some special needs mainly some impulsiveness (reaching for stuff in the car, etc). We have a Nautilus but I HATE the way her head slumps every time she falls asleep and she cannot unbuckle that seat in the carpool lane at school. I've been getting her used to a booster by putting her in our PW (rarely) from time to time and she does okay, but not great yet. I'm thinking about a Frontier or a Regent but don't like the size of the Regent or the install of the Frontier in the captain's chairs of our Odyssey. What would you do about her next seat? Keep the Nauti? Not worried about the $$ aspect. I'm by no means only interested in Britax. Their FF only seats and the PWSG booster are appealing to me at this point.

Does she sleep in the car often? Does it seem to other her when her head slumps?

My son is almost 6 and is the same height as your DD but a little heavier, we have him in the Nautilus and his head slumps a little also when he sleeps but it seems to bother me more than him. He used to have a hard time unbuckling too and sometimes he still does, but we've been working with him on it so he can get out during carpool by himself too.
Do you have the Nautilus in one of the captains chairs? I used to have to turn around and could reach the buckle myself and unbuckle it for them.
Personally I would keep the Nautilus but I love the Regent and you can get a great price on them right now.

Sorry, I'm probably no help. lol

I vote for a Frontier - and they are on sale right now all over (Amazon has them for $207 in pink sky). My Regent weighs about 1,000 lbs. Sure, it is a solid and strong seat, but it tries to squish me on the way from the house to the car and the recline bar is a pain to work with.
