I was told there are some people on here with special needs training so I'm hoping you can help me.
I need another car seat for my 6 yo to replace one that was in an accident and close to being outgrown. She’s 34lbs 43.5” and has CP.
She’s currently riding in a Britax Frontier in DH’s car. It works great as a second seat for occasional use but after using it exclusively for the last 3 months we’re realizing it’s not ideal for everyday use or long trips. The issue is that when she’s tired or sick she tends to slump forward or to the side in the seat. I can’t imagine that this is safe and it’s definitely not comfortable for her.
I think she needs something with more recline and/or more padding and support on the sides (for her hips) It looks like from the pics I’ve seen that the ProSport would work. But there aren’t any around here that I can try out in person.
Do any of you have experience with this seat for a kid with muscle tone issues? (very high tone from waist down, mild low tone in her trunk which gets worse when she's tired)
Is the harness height comparable to the frontier?
Any online retailers with a really good return policy? Any new seats out there that might work? (radian and nautilus are both too upright/not supportive enough for her)
Thanks in advance for your help.
