Hi all -- I'm in serious need of informed opinions. We need to purchase a new seat since my 9mo old is rapidly outgrowing his infant seat.
Currently have a Roundabout and a Graco Comfort Sport for my 3yo ds (23 lbs and 36" -- no that is not a typo -- 23lbs). He has been FF for a while now since he was quite unhappy RF. It makes sense to me to move into a 5 point booster for him -- he is on the top slot of the Roundabout and has also maxed out the other one -- and to move my baby into the Roundabout RF.
The dilemma is which booster? Graco Nautilus doesn't seem to fit him well -- his head is pushed forward (the way airline headrests do to me -- very annoying) and the padding is so skimpy that I think he'll develop bed sores on any trip > 2 hours (the kid has NO butt padding). I've tried him in the Britax Frontier and the only thing that worries me is some mediocre reviews I've seen (seems to fit him well). I'm also interested in the Recaro Young Sport but there are no dealers within a 6 hour drive so trying it out prior seems impossible. Any recs? Any models that I'm missing? Thanks!
