I have a 3 yr old DS who is FF in a marathon 70. His secondary seat which needs to fit in multiple vehicles for occasional use is a FYTF. He is on the lower end of the top slots on both. Always 90+% in height. 5 mo old ds2 is in a snugride 35 with loads of room, but I am ready to switch to a convertible soon.
My plan is: pass down the Britax to baby for RF, use the SR35 for secondary seat until he outgrows it (ds1 fit until 15ish mo old and they are on the same growth curve). Continue to use the TF as ds1s second seat until baby outgrows the bucket, and ten we will RF it as baby's second seat. Ds1 will get a new frontier 90.
So spam me with my options to also look at for ds1's second seat. If I read correctly, the maestro is out because its top slots are only 18", same as the marathon, and it only has a 50 lb harness which isn't going to hold him till 6 or so. I will not booster him in other peoples cars until at least 6. So from about 4 to 6 I need something. The sureride has 19" slots correct? I thought the pioneer would be a good option but it's too low as well I'm afraid.
The secure kid 300/400 (what is the difference?) have complaints about being too narrow for stockier kids. The nautilus is only 18" top slots and the common crotch strap complaint.
The harmony defender seems to be disappearing, why? Would that be a good option?
Is a frontier 90 the only good option, should I just buy 2?
