Best seat for 3 year old with low tone

My daughter is 3 years old, 36 lbs, 38 inches tall, and has low muscle tone. She is currently in a regent that is about to expire. Prior to the regent (that she inherited from my 5 year old), she was rear-facing in a Britax boulevard - which has now been passed down to my 8 month old. I turned her ff when our 8 month old was born. I am nervous with her ff, but the traffic flow to the backseat will not work with two children rf. Also, she had reached the weight limit of rf in the boulevard. I am looking for a new seat as the regent is about to expire, and it just doesn't seem to fit her well. With her tone, she always seems to be slouched down in the seat by the time we pull out of the driveway. I also miss the "wings" of the boulevard. Could anyone recommend a seat that she can grow with? I have looked at the frontier, but didn't know if that was the best for our situation or not. Thanks for any suggestions!

I have a low tone kiddo in a Frontier and it B"H works well for him. I like the fact that it is good for 9 years, since we will probably get 9 years use out of it.

I keep the crotch strap in the slot closest to him which I think helps keep his pelvis in place so he doesn't slouch as much. Can you try your daughter in one and see how she sits?

We have an 06 Sienna. My two older kiddos are in the back and younger two are in the captain seats. I have a BRU near us, so I'll go there and see how she fits in it. The regent's buckle seems to be too far from her body, even on the closest setting, which I think is causing the slouching.
