Evenflo Symphony 65 vs My Ride 65

Hello,
I am debating b/w these two carseats, but I can't find much info on the Evenflo Symphony 65. I know it is a 3 in 1 and can convert to a booster while the My Ride 65 Can't. I know it also has 1 crappy cup holder compared to the My Ride's 2 very nice ones. I have read that the My Ride 65 is way too reclined for older children and they hate it. Does anyone know if that is true? Is it worth buying the Symphony 65 since it is a 3 in 1? Thanks!

The MyRide rear faces to 40lbs while the Symphony only goes to 35lbs. The Symphony can only be used rear facing in the first two headrest positions, which makes it shorter than the MyRide, so it will be outgrown by height RF before the MyRide is. My 34 month old son still fits in the Myride RF but has already outgrown the Symphony RF by at least an inch. Both will be outgrown FF around the same time. The Symphony is just about the only 3 in 1 that makes a decent fitting booster but I don't know how long that booster tends to fit children. I am not a fan of the MyRide FF but my son didn't seem to mind it the handful of times it was like that. It was more about how I felt about it. It was quite reclined and in my back seat he doesn't have much foot room between his car seat and the front seat because of how reclined it was. It made it stick out more. If it were in the middle, it wouldn't be much of a problem. Some children like the recline better and I think in some vehicles it is easier to achieve a more upright FF angle. I prefer the MyRide as a RF seat but would probably go with the Symphony as a FF seat. I know that isn't much of a help. When my son outgrows the MyRide RF though, he'll be VERY close to outgrowing it FF as well so I think I could live with the recline while FF if I had to. It isn't that big of a deal. Are these the only seats you are interested in? There are a couple others that are recommended over both of these seats that will last both RF and FF longer
