Next carseat for 31 month old DD

Anna is 31 months old, 33 pounds and 35 or so inches tall. She has a tall torso, so we just moved the harness straps on her Marathon to the top slot position. We will be buying another car seat in September (for her 3rd birthday) and are wondering what the best choice would be.

Anna is our only child and we will not be having more children, so at this point I think the best choice will be a combination seat. I would like to keep her harnessed to 65 pounds, but I want a seat that has a much lower profile than our Marathon. We have a Nautilus in DH's truck and I am not overly fond of it, plus it does not fit well in my car (2008 Altima sedan), so we do not want to buy another Nautilus. Is the Frontier 85 a good fit for Anna? If not, what are our other options?

Thanks!

She's about the same size as my STBAS...well, he's taller...but everything else is the same, including their torso's...he's got a Frontier 85, Evenflo Maestro and Radian XT. The F85 is his main seat...and the Maestro and XT are his spares. He's got the most room to grow in the F85 followed by the Maestro. Both will get him to booster age comfortably.
