DH and I need to buy two combination seats for our older daughter - she is 3.5 years old, over 40" and around 35 lbs. She is currently riding FFing in Britax Boulevard 70s (G2) but we plan to pass the Boulevards down to the baby in the next couple of months. She rides in both cars (2010 Chevy Equinox and 2007 Toyota Camry) on a daily basis and so we want two higher-end seats. Most of L's friends at daycare are either in Nautiluses or boosters (already, at 3 - don't get me started) and she's very excited to get a "big girl seat".
A 3rd child is a possibility in a few years, but we don't know if one or more of our cars would upgrade to a minivan or an SUV with third row, and we don't want to buy Radians until/if we need to. The Boulevards will be close to expiring when the baby is around 2 anyways, so we will re-evaluate our seat situation at that time. So we don't want to buy this set of car seats based on possible future constraints.
We've narrowed it to the Britax Frontier 90 (for the Click Tight) and the Recaro Performance Sport. I know both are good seats that are well-reviewed and the Recaro is a bit cheaper, but what are some other compelling reasons for choosing one over the other?
