A new friend has a little girl with SN. At two years old she is a tiny 10 lbs and has part of her brain missing. Obviously she must remain rearfacing but the problem we are having is that her legs do not bend naturally. They are stiff all the time down to her toes. She is 28 in tall but very thin.
We tried her in a Coccoro and the fit was ok... But her feet were tight aganst the back seat and there were big gaps at her hips.
I'm not sure of the budget for this family but are there any suggestions for seats that might fit her better? Leg room is a big factor but I would also like to find something that fits her hips better.
Another concideration is that there are two other children that would be sitting next to her. The 6 year old is in a booster and the 9 year old is in a seatbelt.
I know the logical choice would be a Radian, but I'm not sure if they can afford that. Also, it would deffinatly be overkill for a child who is 10lbs at 2 years old.
