Question Recommendations for Extended RF Seat

So I need to figure this out but keep stalling because I love my son's My Ride so much...(bought it from advice on this forum after an accident 5 1/2 years ago...:eek: ) but it just expired so time to replace. He's 22 months, 27 pounds 33 inches long and his torso height is 13 inches. I'm debating between the Graco Forever, Filo, or Britax Click Tight Boalvard. It's going into a caption seat in a 2005 Dodge Caravan. Although the option to put it in the back would be nice if I need it.

I have the Sure Ride as a spare seat but don't love it, and the Graco Transitions only goes to 35 pounds. So any seats I'm missing... which of the three would you recommend? Things I loved about the MyRide ..easy and light to move..easy to install and use.. nice recline and my kids loved it! He may be our last so using it as a FF seat will probably happen in a few years.
Thanks so much!

I have heard a lot of good about it but its not available in Canada... or is it???? Would be awesome if it was!!!

Nope, it's not. I have a feeling it might be hard to get it to pass our testing with that foot extended. We do have the 4Ever though, which I think is on sale at bru right now.

Thanks for your help ladies! Is there a reason you recommend the Graco over the other two? They are all three close to the same price range....

I didn't actually read your original post, just saw the other question :). I would skip the Britax. They have such little leg room. I love my Fllo! Tons of leg room, such a sturdy seat. I have not yet seen a 4Ever in person, so I can't compare. But at $330 on sale (I think that's what it is), I would probably go for that one.

You said you liked that the Graco was light. The Filo and Britax are NOT! I have a foonf and a CT boulevard and like both of them but for moving and all that, the Graco is a good choice.

Thanks! I think I've narrowed it down to either the 4ever or the Filo. Yes I like the light factor for the 4ever, the cupholders, its on sale now, I'm familiar with Graco....but its so wide and its grey.. Lol

I love the colour of the Filo, we have an old van with no side air bags the Filo may give more protection, I love the narrowness of this versus the 4ever, it had lock offs, its a Canadian seat...but would miss the cupholders, can't easily remove the cover...

Sigh....

I'm not sure there's a clear answer for you on this one! Both are great seats, and the sale on the 4Ever is pretty sweet right now.

I know someone with a 4Ever in that body style of Caravan and it's a good fit RF. Fllo would be great also. How do you feel about an ARB? That might be a deciding factor?

Thanks, I forgot about the ARB. Yes I do like that idea. The question I keep thinking about is whether the Filo actually has extra side protection like they claim or whether it's one of those things we don't know. Then I remember how well Graco seats did on side impact on those videos a few years ago.... Friends of ours were just in a serious accident and they had a van like ours and had just upgraded weeks before and the side airbags very likely saved her life. So I'm more worried about our vans lack of side air bags than I was before....:p
