Forward Facing Harnessed Seat

Hello!

You were all so helpful figuring out my car seat situation I thought I would ask another question.

My nephew will be turning 2 in a few weeks and he is forward facing in both of his parents' vehicles. I have tried to talk to them and get them to go back to rear facing but they absolutely refuse. He rear faces whenever with DH and I but they still don't see the necessity.

In addition to this, they have been using an expired Cosco Scenera since he outgrew his infant carrier a year ago. They WILL NOT purchase another seat because again, they don't see it as a necessity even after I try to explain it to them.

So, for his birthday, I want to get him a new seat at least so they can get rid of the expired one. He weighs 26lbs and is pretty tiny. They refuse to rear face him so I am looking for something they can safely use forward facing even though it isn't ideal. I also want something that will last him awhile so that they don't switch to a booster too early. I don't have a ton of money to spend on this seat but am open to options.

I looked at the Graco Nautilus but is he too young to use that properly? Should I just buy another convertible?

Thank you all for your help!

He is within the limits of the Nautilus and will be very safe provided it is installed and used properly. You can also look at the Evenflo Secure Kid.

I would actually get something without a booster mode so they can't change it early. Evenflo sureride is my go to right now, with those high top slots and a 65 lb limit ff and often found under $100.
