Our quest for the perfect car seat continues--having a tall toddler (37 inches, with a 14" torso at 26 months) is proving quite challenging. We're searching for the perfect car seat. I'm going to visit the Blush Como tomorrow :thumbsup:
She was in a Marathon:
and I wanted to keep her RF longer so I bought a Radian80:
I hate it and want to replace it.
We looked at the SafeSeat2. She had about half an inch of torso growth. It weighs a TON and I hate the chest clip.
Then we looked at the Evenflo Triumph Advance. It's very nice and soft, and surprisingly very light. It is very wide, but nice and comfy-looking. DD loved it. But, she has about an inch left RF'ing and about an inch before she hits the top slots.
Next we looked at the Britax Diplomat. Very nice and comfy, as we expect from Britax. DD has outgrown this seat both RF and FF--she is a good 2.5 inches above the top slots (she would have outgrown this by 18 months). Very nice seat, but $300 for a seat that would be outgrown completely by 18 months
I also had my younger DD model the seat--6 months, 15 lbs, 26 inches, 12" torso.
Moving on...the Britax Boulevard. She's got about 3 inches before she hits the top slots, but installed in the car she's only got about 2". RF she has an inch.
Then of course we have the Regent. She would be on the second-from-bottom slots.
Just for fun:
