My IL's would really like to get DD a seat for their 2010-11(not sure which) Honda Pilot.
Bella is 2.5yo, 34-35lbs and 37in, about 13in torso. She rides in an XTSL in my suv, and a MR in DH's car. She only has maybe 2-3 inches to grow in the MR and its a pain to get her in and out, so I'm not sure I want antoher one of those.
The new seat must have a 40+lb RF limit. Over 40lb FFing limit, so no Scenera or Onside Air. MUST be easy to install, so grandparents can do it properly! I want somethign that will keep her RFing as long as possible, but make a good FFing seat when the time comes, as well.
I *think* I'm leaning toward the Complete Air 65, do we know if it has any differences in structure that will make it last longer? other than, of course, the weight limit. I do HATE the flimsy harness though, it was twisty even on the floor model. And I'm not a huge fran of Dorel either, so I cant convince myself.
I also keep going back and forth about the new Britax seats. They are REALLY nice, love the ease of use, but I'm just not sure she will make it much longer RFing. They seem to be of sporadic on whether they last kids RFing longer than the old seats or not. And does the RA55 have the same shell and harness height as the MA70?
I dont think a Radian would be good from them since the install could be tricky. I like the EFTA65, but it just doesnt have much height to it...Any other suggestions? Oh and are there any good deals out there? I've havea crazy couple of weeks and havent even had time to lurk! lol
