My DS is almost 7 months old and almost out of his keyfit 30 based on his height. He was 29 inches at 6 months (well above 99th percentile in height) and has long legs. I would like to find a seat for $180 or less and would like to be able to have him rf for as long as possible without buying a new seat. I drive a 2002 Honda Civic and my DH drives a 2003 Saturn Ion. I'm thinking about the Evenflo Symphony or the Graco Size4me (if I can find it). I'm having trouble making sense of the height limits, but I would like to find a seat that would accommodate at least 40 inches tall rf, to get him to 2 years at a minimum. Any thoughts or other suggestions? I appreciate any help I can get!

Welcome!

Along with those other seats you listed, you may want to check out the The First Years/Learning Curve/Lamaze TrueFit, Graco MyRide, and the Evenflo Triumph Advance. I believe the seats I listed don't utilize a standing height limit when rearfacing, but use the "1 inch of shell above their head" as a guide. It might be best if you can find these seats at your local Babies R Us store so you can try them out to see which fits your child best as well as installs correctly in your vehicle.
