OK so I thought my little guy was still within the 1” from the top of shell rule till two days ago when I happened to sit in the back seat next to him and from that angle saw that his head is almost to the top so needs a bigger seat ASAP. He’s 16 months, 20 lbs, 30 inches tall. The seat he’s outgrown is a B-Safe 35 (not the Elite). The one issue I’ve had with it is that his head flops forward when he falls asleep, which he does almost every time he is in it. Because of that I want to make sure his new seat has a good recline. I’ve been researching seats like crazy the last couple of days and a couple of other points I’ve seen on here for kids with hypotonia/Down Syndrome are to keep them rear facing as long as possible and make sure the seat has plenty of support. Our vehicle is a 2008 Chrysler Aspen. It has 3 rows so space front to back is tight, especially since my husband and I are both tall. I need to be able to fit the carseat and 2 tall teenagers in the 2nd row (they’re much too tall to ride in the 3rd row) and be able to flip one seat for my 10 year old to access the the third row.
So the Extend2Fit seems to be highly recommended for high RF limit, compact front to back, multiple recline positions, and good support. The leg extension also looks like a nice feature though I don’t know if it would take up too much space in our vehicle.
I’ve also been looking at the Boulevard which I like for the anti-rebound bar but th RF limit isn’t as high.
Any other seats I should consider?
I should mention that we live in a small town and the only store close by that sells carseats is Walmart and their selection is small, so whatever I get I probably won’t be able to try out before buying.
