Hello! And TIA for offering help We have a marathon about to expire and I am looking to purchase a new seat. We have a few special conditions that I need help with.
Vehicle, Jeep Grand Cherokee 2001(? lol) no latch system
Firstly, my daughter is sadly FF at 19mo, because of car sickness and our lengthy(7hr) car trips(for her medical visits) in which she would scream non-stop...enough with me rationalizing, but I do not want moms to think this decision was made lightly.
I am wanting the best protection for a younger FF
she also has a shunt to help regulate her fluids in her brain, so the BEST in head protection is KEY
also she has spina bifida and get pretty uncomfortable on trips so I am wanting a seat or suggesting to make whichever seat a bit more padded in the lowerback/bottom area as she can experience discomfort from sitting too long
lastly if you know of a great deal on the seat your are recommending it is a bonus, but I am very thankful to have a little bit extra atm and my partner and I decided that we should buy our daughter a new car seat that will last and be the best protection available.
I have already looked into recarro(something about the straps seems funky, not behind any shell?)
the graco nautallus(sp?) and elite (looks like it is shorter)
and the britax frontier 85
