I am looking for recommendations for a Canadian combination seat that will have a great install in the centre of our 2015 camry.
It needs to have a high height limit for harness mode.
Our 2.5 yr old, approximately 32lb 38(ish) inch daughter is now forward facing in her Radian and is on the top harness slot (with an inch or so above shoulders, maybe more the next slot down was a bit below shoulders).
She wears size 3-4 tops. She has a long torso (not sure of measurement but she outgrows everything by torso first).
She is a very, very busy child and she despises the car (always has). I expect she will need to be harnessed for a long time so I am hoping for a good seat that will last a long time height and harness wise. We LOVE her radian for it's low profile so that would be a bonus for the next seat.
We won't be buying it in a hurry but since I suspect it will cost a lot I want to have time to keep an eye out for a great sale rather than rushing to buy it when she is about to outgrow her Radian harness.
Price isn't an issue...though I did tell my husband the Radian was the only seat we'd have to buy her until booster age...and that proved inaccurate. I'd really like this next one to last until she is mature enough for booster. I don't much care if it becomes a backless booster but it would be ideal if it makes a great high back booster.
I don't much like the install of our Radian in our car. I can get a rock solid install in the center with seat belt. But I found the install on the sides to be iffy, both with latch and seat belt and with the recline up and down. So, I am bit weary of how the next seat we get will install. Ideally I'd like to keep her in the center since we only have one child (she also does much better with full view out front window) but still be able to put someone else in the back with her occasionally. Install doesn't need to be overly fast or easy as we don't need to move the seat often at all.
