Hello,
I've gotten some very helpful advice in a couple recent posts where I asked about buying seats for travel. One poster asked about my certainty my daughter should still be rearfacing in her Advocate which made me worried about this. After taking a closer look today I do think she's getting close to one inch between the top of her head and the shell. But I'm shocked as she is only 2.5 and my older daughter made it to her 4th birthday rearfacing in an Advocate. She was petite, but still, I didn't think my 2.5 year old was THAT different. I'm going to actually try and get a more precise measurement tomorrow, but I would like some advice if possible.
She is 2.5 years old, weighs about 29-30 pounds and is about 38 inches tall. She's currently in an Advocate rear facing in a captain's seat in our Honda Odyssey.
Here are my questions:
Should I get a new seat and keep her rearfacing for longer? My husband wants to just turn her FF to avoid spending $ on a new seat, but I'm happy to shell it out if it is safer and there is another seat that could keep her RF'ing for quite awhile longer.
What seat should I look into? Given she's 38inches tall, what are my options? I'm in Canada...... I don't mind spending the $ for a good quality seat (and I do know that theoretically one is not "better" than another, but I DO feel Britax is a good quality and have been happy to pay for it).
Thank you for all and any advice, everyone here is always so helpful!!!!
