Any HBB with wider seat than Monterey?

So, I'm a total idiot. I bought dd1 a Monterey based on her liking her sister's several months ago. It never crossed my mind that she might GROW. Ugh.

So, anyway, she feels like she has to wedge her butt in. She still likes her Olli, but misses the head wings from her Oobr. (Oobr being sold because of her butt...again. :rolleyes:) I honestly don't understand...I would swear that the Olli isn't as wide as a Monterey.

So, is DD out of luck? Are there any other HBB that are wider inside than the Monterey? She is right around 90lbs. Or do I need to just forget a HBB and get her another Olli? I'm keeping her boostered because I don't like how high the belt comes up on her belly without one.

(Before I return the Monterey I got an awesome deal on, I'm going to have her try her sister's Monterey again tomorrow. Maybe she'll feel differently with it installed? One can hope.)

I think the Frontiers in booster mode are wider than the Monterey, but the Monterey is pretty wide. It's definitely wider than the Olli.

I wonder if it's because the higher armrests and the way they angle out, that she is more comfortable in it. Or maybe she's just used to the way it fits already. :confused:

I've been considering a Frontier for dd3 when she outgrows her MA rfing. Maybe I should spring for one now and let dd1 use it in the mean time. I just don't know that I want to commit to a Frontier, I haven't had a chance to check out what other good combo seats are available. I was also toying with the idea of buying another seat to rf her longer, but that isn't likely...she'll be 4 in Feb.

Thanks! I missed out on the Maui :)()but went ahead and got a Rushmore. For that price, I just couldn't pass it up. Especially since after trying dd1 in her sister's seat, discovered she is already on the highest setting.

On a weird note, dd1 said that dd2's seat, a pink Monterey with a month newer DOM, fit better. :confused: What the heck?!:confused:

Whatever. Rushmore is ordered. I'll keep my eye out for a different cover for when I pass it down to dd3. DD1 is fine with non-girly, though she would have much preferred blue or red. DD3 on the other hand is a total princess, lol.
