Hi,
I'm new to the forum but a long time reader of the blog. I was given a Evenflo Chase car seat by my in-laws (2013 manufacture date). We were thinking of this possibly being a second seat for my mom's car. I read that it's not a great one for a booster but my son is still using the harness. He's 41 months, about 38" tall (he just outgrew rear facing in his Evenflo Symphony DXL) and only 28 lbs.
So weirdly enough I've never seen a seat where the bottom harness straps are almost near the middle of the seat instead of closer to the back. So when the harness is used the bottom part goes more over his legs instead of closer to hips. I'll try to give a link of a picture so you can see what I mean.
I'm also in Canada so I don't know if that makes a difference. https://goo.gl/photos/i9Qe8TRApJh5HJ8S6
Also, if I decided instead to buy a second seat would I be better getting something like the Graco Nautilus? Would I actually be able to use the backless booster when he's older or do people usually end up getting another anyway. I'm just not sure if I do need one if I should get something more affordable like the Evenflo Maestro or pay more but get more use out of the Nautilus...
TIA!
