I was thinking today how maybe it was dumb to get rid of the frontier for Fiona, and go with the GN, I love the GN as a harnessed seat but I also know that the frontier makes a nice fitting booster for when she turns 6..

So Now I am thinking of trying a maestro in DH's car for a 3 across, (With the radian and turbobooster, we shall see) The idea though is that I would also use it when we start booster training if it is a good fit.

Also what is the top harness height, Fiona is 41 inches tall, and has a 14 inch torso, and weighs around 33 or 34 lbs last time she was weighed she was 32 lbs but it has been a while since then (march I believe)

So the weight is not an issue, I would be shocked if she gained more than 15 lbs in the next 16 months (she is 4 years and 8 months)

I'm not sure how long you intend to wait to "booster train", but do note that the Maestro has a 40lb minimum for booster mode.

I almost bought one for my 33lb 5yr old, but even though I intend to harness her until she's at least 6, that is giving me pause.

huh why does that happen to me all the time, I bump cause I see no answers then I look later and there are a bunch of replies above my bump? hmm
Anyways, that is good to know about the 40 lbs for boostering, I was going to booster train a little in a year or so, and then booster around 6 give or take. I assume she will be 40 lbs by 6 she is 33 now. I hope she is around that. (Julianna could always take the maestro for a booster and give Fiona the Turbo booster to train in I suppose)

A tall 8yo probably could not use the Maestro as a booster -- it is outgrown by height as a booster very shortly after being outgrown by height as a harnessed seat.
