Is it worth selling EFTA for Maestro?

The EFTA really only works rear facing in the center of DH's truck, or in my Mom's car. She won't be RF in either much longer. I was planning to sell the EFTA. Right now, the EFTA is FF in the 3rd row of my van for a friend's son. I was planning on selling it, because I can't really use it RF anymore. I was going to get a Maestro to be an extra seat for Sofi/ friend's son. But now I'm wondering, is it worth it? Sofi has a torso of about 15 inches. She's on the 3rd slots of the GN, with room to grow. She just turned 4, and weighs about 33 pounds. I know the Maestro is only 1 inch taller than the EFTA, right? Should I just keep the EFTA? I don't think the Maestro would give much use as booster mode, so maybe just keep the EFTA until she needs a booster?

I got a Meastro to replace my EFTA & have been super super happy with it. I like that it sits much lower on the seat & it is SO much easier for Marcus to climb into. I did :love: my EFTA, but the Meastro has been awsome to. It also has top slots that are the same, or pretty darn close, to the Nautilus. Marcus weighs right about 35lbs with clothes, so we will get full use of it.

So, for me it was totally worth the trade. I like it so much that it is Marcus' primary seat over even the Nautilus! :eek: ;)

I wouldn't because I love the EFTA forward facing. It is awesome! My 6 year old still fits in the EFTA. I have never used the Maestro, so I can't compare though.
