Hi, I want a 3 in 1 for my 3 1/2 years old, why a 3 in 1 because I want one that has a slight recline when FF and good headwings because we often need him to nap or sleep in the car for a few hours when we go on vacations. Now I have the Evenflo Symphony, I really like it and he's comfortable to sleep in it but I read that this seat does not last long in terms of kids height. I need a seat that will last long because my son is very small (6th percentile in weight (28 pounds now at 3 1/2, 10th percentile in height) so it will take time until he reaches 40 pounds to be in booster mode. Now I have the option of giving the Symphony to my younger baby (14 months) and buy a new one to my son. Would the Diono Radian RXT be a better option (will fit longer with harnest and will be able to use it as booster?) or is it the same as the Symphony?
Remember that I'm looking at those 2 seats because of good head wings to sleep and the head part is not more forward than the back part like a lot of seats (like the Graco Nautilus, which I have in the other car, I love it but not for sleeping, the head is too forward and falls).
Also, I have the Safety 1st Alpha Omega in our second car, if we ignore the sleeping argument does it have a better range to be harnested longer?
Thank you for you help!
P.S. For the Symphony, it says up to 127 cm with harnest, but in your expert opinion, what's the real average height (or average age for tiny kids) at which a kid outgrows the harnest?
According to this, my 6th percentile son should reach the 50 inches (127 cm) limit at age 9, so he should never outgrow the Symphony right?

The one other thing I'm scared might be a problem is the neck space between the two shoulder straps, it'S narrower than most car seats non? My son already complains it hurts the sides of his neck, I have to pull his t-shirt up to protect him, will it be worst when he gets bigger (and so his neck) am I the only one with this problem?
