So I'm a bad mom and haven't been paying attention to Liam in his Blvd70. He's always had loads of room above his head, but today I noticed his headrest is raised pretty high and he actually is exactly one inch from the top of the shell of the seat. So I guess it's going to have to be retired, which I'm very sad about because I loved that seat.
I went ahead and took it out and put the original Marathon we have in the center...he has two inches above his head in that. I really don't want to keep that set up though because I hate loading him in the center and he's too dilly dally stubborn to climb in
himself. It's more efficient for me to chuck him in kicking and screaming, lol. But I'm weird about SIP and don't want him outboard in it.
I know I'm a picky freak but what ya gonna do. I prefer headwings and rebound control of some sort. I won't use a Diono and we already had a TFP and I wasn't a fan of the width of the seat allowing his head to fly around.
I know the Foonf would work. I just hate to spend that much money but I may have to if I'm going to stick to my criteria. My only other thought would be to find an original Blvd and hope it'll last him awhile? I'm assuming he'd have the same amount of room above his head as he does the original MA. Then get him a Nautilus or Frontier when he turns 3 or outgrows it? I don't think I'd have a problem getting him another 6 months without gaining more than an inch in his torso right? But then if I buy that and a combo seat in 6 months to a year, I'm gonna spend the same amount as I would on a Foonf.
If I have to forego rebound control (which I really don't want to) I'd probably get a MR for the high sides, but I'm worried about the buckle. He rides in a S4M in Shaun's truck and I cannot do or undo the buckle. I hate it. It's the second one we've had too...Graco replaced our original one for the same problem.
He's 2.5, 28lbs and 37 inches. No idea on torso length.
What to do....
