It's not quite spare, it's actually going to go into my DS's grandmothers car, and she drives him to school every morning (about a 5 min drive).
Currently we have a Nautilus in our car and a Britax Roundabout, he's pretty much outgrown the roundabout so we're looking to replace it.
Money is not an object, but in the same breath I don't want to spend more than I need for a "rarely used" seat. Was thinking the maestro (liked the weight of it given that we have to take a seat of some sort to Italy this summer) but then having put my DS in it he was already on the second to top slot (he's about 15" at torso) so was thinking it may not last very long.
Is the Nautilus a good second option, it's $140 at Target right now, so seems like a reasonable price, not TOO much more than the Maestro, and gives another 15lbs on weight limit (which given that DS is only about 32lbs now means he'll still be in the harness at 15!)
