Inexpensive Combo Seat Rec's Needed

I need suggestions for seats available in Canada;)

Little girl is 3.5 years, 30lbs, & tall. I don't have exact measurements, but she's outgrown the harness by height on her seats (both older 30/40 3-in-1s). She's currently riding in a borrowed MA in her mom's vehicle & needs the top slot, but still has a bit of height room in the harness. Grandma needs to replace little girl's seat in her vehicle like yesterday. Mom is waiting for the Nautilus to go on sale for her vehicle (99 Caravan). Grandma drives an 04 Montana. There really isn't money for 2 Nautilus's at this point. How does the Apex fit a child of this size? Grandma has headrests. I realize it's not likely going to be a good booster for a child her size, but she's still got at least 10 lbs before she's going to be boostered. I suspect she will be 6 or so before she hits 40lbs.

I think the Apex would be fine. My friend (who is a CRST) has had her DS in one since he was under 30 lbs and he fit fine. It is a wide seat if there is another child involved. She says it doesn't fit all that well in a very contoured/deep seat. Both she and her DS love the seat though.

You can get some good deals on the Apex right now - I think at BRU? Here, $99 for older model and $150 for the new(er) model (is there a newer-er model out?):

Just make sure to check the DOM especially on the older ones.
