Another seat recommendation thread

It's been some time since I looked at seats, since DS is almost 7, and so I'd like opinions on a second seat for DD for after her keyfit. DD was 3 weeks early and tiny (she's currently 9 weeks and 8.5 lbs), so I have lots of time to decide (although the bucket is my brothers so I may switch her into the convertibles before she outgrows it).

We have small cars: a nissan leaf and toyota corolla, so width is definitely a consideration. I switched DS to the harmony NBB since they're about the narrowest option for him, I think, and we do occasionally try to squeeze an adult in back with them (in the corolla; in the leaf it seems impossible).

I already bought her a diono rainier and could buy a second one of those, but I was also looking at the britax boulevard clicktight; we have a frontier for DS that I adored that is getting passed along to a nephew.

Open to any suggestions -- tell me what you love an why! She isn't big right now although it's possible she'll jump up on the growth curve over the next year since she was premature and small due to preeclampsia. DS was a giant kid. Extended RFing is my goal.

TIA :)

I have a super tiny guy (21lbs at age 2) and I loooooooove my Milestone! The harness is so smooth to tighten like the Keyfit. It fits well in small cars and was an easy install. The sides are lower so it is easy to get him in and out.

Fwiw, I thought I would love my Boulevard CT and I dont. It was hard to get a good install angle in my Elantra, so I gave it to my dad. It took up a ton of space to get a good angle. The Frontier CT is so much better lol, too bad it is ff only. Love that for ds1.

I'm worried about the width of the milestone; anyone know if it will puzzle with a harmony nbb?

I'm also eyeing up the tokidoki cleks (probably a fllo), if I can talk my husband into it! So if anyone has one of those I'd love to hear what you love/hate.

We had a 2001 Corolla and had excellent luck with the Britax Roundabout 55. I am not sure of the interior space of your Corolla or what year you have.

We have a 2005 Corolla. With the chicco keyfit outboard and harmony nbb center a small adult can fit in the third back seat but it is tight. Sadly I think that's our best situation though, as I doubt I can do better than the keyfit with a convertible.
