Now that I have 2 kids, I've realized that we could actually use seats in both cars for the times we split the kids up between us. I'm hoping to get some recommendations. Here is the situation:

*DS2 (2 months) is in a Safety First Onside Air in our main car.
*We have a 2007 Boulevard in our second car b/c it adjusts easily. We've been flipping it around from rf to ff depending on which kid we need to take in that car. Once we get a second seat in that car, we'll use the Boulevard for DS2.
*DS1 is 3.5, about 36 lb and 41 inches. He won't fit in the Boulevard much longer even ff. He is rf in the main car but I don't think I can afford to buy him a second seat that will let him rf. I had him sit in the Onside Air and it looks like he would fit rf for maybe 2 more weeks, but not for long.
*Both grandmas also have Boulevards in their cars. I didn't know what else to recommend they buy when DS1 was little. Now I regret it b/c DS1 has almost outgrown their Boulevards. It was a pricey mistake. I'm hoping to find a much less expensive seat for us to get for the second car that I can recommend to them as well.
*I'd definitely prefer a seat that will last a while for a tall kid. I'd really prefer a seat that converts from harness to booster. And I'd really like to spend under $100.

Any ideas for seats that fit the bill? Thanks for any help you can offer!

The closest would be the Evenflo Maestro. It has 18" top slots, 50 pound harness limit, and it's $80. It turns into a booster, but it's outgrown as a booster about the same time as a harnessed seat.

Otherwise, I'd look for a Graco Nautilus on sale somewhere.
