Tallest seat with no headrest?

purplemama · Jan 8, 2016

I need a new seat for DD1 (5). She bangs her head in her seat all the time and its driving me up the wall. I'm at buy buy baby playing with a seats and everything has a headrest that will make noise. The only ones I can think of are the myride & the sureride. Any others I'm missing?

The SureRide is by far the tallest I can think of.

The roundabout, but the SureRide is the tallest.

I wish britax still made the classic RA50. I have one but I really need 2

Is a maestro shorter than the Sureride?

Eta...looks like the maestro is 26 inches and the Sureride and RA50 are both 25 inches.

ETAA...the headrest on the maestro doesn't move so it probably won't be noisy. It's worth a shot.

Shorter as in which will be outgrown sooner? The Maestro because its top harness height is an inch shorter, so it will be outgrown by height earlier than the Sureride. (At just 50", standing height limit is shorter as well.) HTH.

There is one for sale in the swap section. I have been thinking of getting it, but it isn't really what I need. Might be a good way to go for you, though!

Wouldn't the r100 or r120 fit the bill too?

Yes, I think so. They'd be the tallest too right?

ETA: actually the Sureride is taller, I was thinking rear facing but this post is asking about forward facing.

I got a sureride and have been using it this week. It's a nice seat and sure works for less noise with the head banging. But the continuous harness is a deal breaker for me. For me its a PITA I don't want to deal with. So its going in DH's car to replace the recaro he doesn't like, he only has one if the girls in his car a couple times a month anyway.
I ordered a myride for my van, hopefully that will work out better.
