Britax Pioneer vs. Graco Atlas vs. Way/Tranzition?

Kellz625 · Feb 17, 2018

Looking for a new seat, we have loved our Evenflo Triumph, which he RF'd in until he was over 2, and has been FF in for a while... but I'm wanting a lower profile seat now with better cup holders AND head wings so that he doesn't slump forward when he sleeps.

He's 3 years old and 37".

I'm way out of the loop on car seats these days lol!

Re: Recommend a forward facing, low profile seat for my 3 year old to fall asleep in...

How much does he weigh? What is your budget? My daughter of that age and size loved trying out the Evenflo Evolve. It is very cushy, but some kids may not like how close the headwings are around the head. The Nautilus line is the best for cupholders and cubbies, but I feel like some people have found it to cause head slump. Don't quote me on that though!

I don't even remember how much he weighs lol.

I've been reading that the evolve pushes their head forward?

I think I've narrowed it down to the Britax Pioneer, the Graco Atlas or the Graco Ways/Transition. Trying to find the pros and cons between them all, I think they all have a non-rethreading harness which is a huge plus as it's one of the reasons we loved his evenflo triumph, so now I'm more concerned about head slump/napping comfort. He slumps horribly in the triumph.
