My friend called me tonight and asked for some advice. Their child is 39-40lbs, 2 years old (turns 3 in November), 36" tall. Current seats are Alpha Omega and Chase, both outgrown because of harness weight limits.
They want to spend as little as possible because they have a tight budget. Maestro is out, since the child is rapidly gaining weight due to a medicine side effect. I recommended the Generations 65 or Nautilus (however, one of their vehicles is a pick-up, so the 100% base on seat rule may eliminate this seat as an option)... am I missing something else? Oh, and the child will not go back rear-facing, so the Radian is out (plus it's not in their budget). Should I recommend a convertible? If so, which one? Triumph 65? Which has taller slots, a Triumph 65 or the Generations 65?
Thanks everyone! I want to help them make the best choice, and they are relying on me to tell them what to buy.
