TFP or MR???

So based on the deal on kids woot on the TFP, I'm totally confused as to what seat I want for my DD. I can get a MR from a friend for $70 but it would be about 18months old.

DD is 33 months (3 in April), 30 pounds, and 36" tall. Last time I checked her torso height i think it was about 12.5" in about August...but not sure on that one. At 2 yo she was 26.5 lbs and 34 1/2".

If it helps, DS1 was 28 lbs 38" at 3yo, and at 5yo he was 37 lbs, 43". DS2 was 34.5lbs 39" at 3yo, and at 5 yo he was 45 lbs, 45". So....the boys are as different as night and day, and she seems to be somewhere right in between.

DD is the last kid, her Blvd doesn't expire until Nov of 2013....so I don't NEED a seat yet, but it has a RF limit of 33lbs and I'd like to get her to age 4 RF so I think I'll eventually need a new seat for her for that....and I"m really tempted by the TFP deal.

So...based on seats, kid stats etc, what would you buy?

With her current stats, either seat should get her to 4 RFing. It's doubtful she'll gain 5 pounds in a year to outgrow the TFP by weight, and with less than a 13 inch torso now she shouldn't outgrow either by height for a while.

The woot appears to be a TF, not the premier model. I just wanted to point that out so no one is disappointed.

Thanks for that! In that case, the RF limit is 35 pounds on a TF right? Which solves my dilemma...except that I want to buy a new seat....but have no use for it!
