I was in a car accident & killed our nice large newer Nissan Altima. Everyone is fine but we need a new car seat. We have a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid and we are living overseas in England as my husband is in the Air Force. I have a loaner car seat from a friend, Britax Marathon 70 which is actually what we were using in the totaled Nissan but OMG is it a tight fit in the Civic. She is forward facing now - we all get car sick driving on the hilly winding farm roads here and she's cured now that she is upright & on "my side" of car vs reclined & in the middle.
We are here for 1 more yr so need to find a new seat that we can purchase & ship to our APO that will fit in the tiny Civic, good for travel (air & car) and could possibly be used a booster too later since I am shopping for new car seat way earlier than planned so I'd like to get my money's worth. I was looking @ the RECARO Performance SPORT Combination Harness to Booster but have been suggested by some friends just to get another Britax but the Frontier 90 Booster Car Seat. My daughter is 2.5yrs, around 35 lbs & about 32 inches. HELP! Is there some holy grail of a smaller, lighter but Safe car seat?
We will be getting another car when back in the US and we are trying to add to our family and would like to us the Chicco Keyfit 30 again if we are blessed with another child. Budget is about $180-200 but cheaper would be GREAT!
