Hi there!
This is my first post on car-seat.org. I've been doing a lot of research on car-seats since my little girl is about to outgrow her current carseat in length(Graco Snugride32). I'm looking for a carseat that will work well for a tall, skinny girl. She is 5 months and almost 30" (99th percentile for length) but only 14.5 lbs. I'd like to be able to use the seat as long as possible, first rear facing and then front facing when I absolutely have to turn her.
It will be installed in a Nissan Sentra, so not tons of room either.
Ideally I'd like to spend around $250. Also, I'm not really a fan of ordering a carseat online so it would be great if it was a carseat I could find in a "bricks & mortar" store.
My current front-runner is the Evenflo Symphony 65, the Graco Snugride 65 is also in the running, but it looks really wide with the 2 built in cupholders on the sides. I've heard good things about the Sunshine Kids Radian 65 but have not been able to find it in any stores.
Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
