Short Version:
DD has maxed out the height on her Turbo with Safety Surround, so it's time to get her a new seat. Suggestions?
Long Version:
Current plan is to pass the Turbo w/ Safety Surround to DS (who is complaining vociferously about the Evenflo Sureride that he currently uses in Grandma's car)
DS is 8y6m old, 49.25" tall and 53lbs.
He has GHD and a bone age delay, but thanks to growth hormone treatment is now ON the growth chart. His doctor has not done a bone age scan in 1.5 years, so we no longer know the extent of his bone age delay. However, we are comfortable moving him to a HBB part time.
He still rides in a Britax Frontier in the 2 main cars. (He calls them his "thrones", loves them, and has plenty of room to grow. I don't think we will have to move him out of them any time soon)
DD is 10y4m old, approximately 53" tall and approximately 65lbs. Her shoulders are even with the belt guides on the Turbo with the backrest in its highest position.
Plan is to move her to a backless booster in grandma's car. (She rides in a Recaro Vivo and Recaro Performance Booster in the 2 main cars - This booster might become one of her main boosters when she outgrows the hbbs in the main cars.)
Requirements:
lightweight (must be easy for grandma/grandpa and/or dd to move around)
available in pink (for now) and able to buy replacement covers when DS gets older and we (possibly) pass it down
has armrests (DD already nixed the incognito)
has a cupholder (other reason she nixed the incognito)
good beltfit on skinny kids
will fit well in a 2006 Toyota minivan and 2010ish Toyota Prius (I can't try it in those cars before buying it - so best bets are helpful)
Cost doesn't matter
Currently looking at:
Graco Affix
Clek Olli
(Grandma and grandpa never buckle the seats back in, but latch isn't mandatory)
Am open to other ideas - Suggestions? What would you recommend and why?
