Question Moving 3 year old to a new seat - recs?

My 5 month old has already almost outgrown his Chicco Keyfit 30. He is 20 lbs. and over 27".

I was going to buy him a new seat and them decided he should take my 3 year old daughter's Evenflo and get her the new one.

Does anyone have recommendations for a Subaru Legacy? She is over 35 lbs. and on the taller side. I was wondering if some type of booster would work? Hoping she will use this next one for awhile.

Thank you for your help :)

So, you'd like her to be forward facing? What seat has she been in and how much room does she have to grow in it? In which way is your 5 month old outgrowing the Keyfit- by room to the top of the shell?

A combination seat has a harness and later turns into a booster. But if your 5 month old is going to outgrow the seat he's moving into really quickly as well, I'd probably recommend getting a convertible (rear- and forward-facing) instead for her now, and hopefully in 2 or 3 years if your son has outgrown the convertible he's in, you could pass the new, longer-lasting one down, and get her a dedicated booster (which is cheap.) It might be more cost effective.

For the 3 yr old I would get her a combination seat. Something that will grow with her and you will be able to use down the line for the baby. A Nautilus, frontier would be good.
