The YS is done. There is zero harness length left. She still has about 1-2" before hitting the top harness slots, but with no harness left and Recaro saying there is nothing they can do, the seat needs to retire until it can be a booster
So I need a new harnessed seat for her. Her torso height is about 1-2" less than the YS max height whatever that is LOL. She is 33 lbs and 43" but all legs. They anticipate her hitting 35-36 pounds in the next 2-3 months. So I guess a 40 lb seat isn't awful but then I can't hand it down to S.
I only plan on harnessing her until next fall probably when I will most likely booster her full time. She'll be 5 1/2 by then.
Her "requirements" are that she MUST be able to criss cross her legs in it (and strangely she can in the YS). She can't sit anywhere without crossing her legs and I have no clue why. I also need a seat with deep headwings that don't push her head forward. And it must fit in the 3rd row of the Grand Caravan. It will be a seatbelt install.
So any ideas? I was thinking the Symphony. Anyone know if twisty straps are an issue? I loved the YS cause the straps never twisted and the crotch buckle was so long and was always laying in the right spot so I never had to contort myself back there to dig for it or the straps. She likes the GN, but she has started sleeping in her YS (first time since 6 months old!) and I'm not sure she can in the GN cause of the headwings.
So basically, she needs to sit criss cross, it needs deep wings, needs to install easily in the 3rd row with a seatbelt, and only needs to last until next fall when she'll be around 40 lbs.
Any ideas?
ETA: The Radian doesn't work or I would have done that. She just doesn't like it for whatever reason
