I have not been on here in ages! My YDD is 7 months old, 16lbs, somewhere around 27 inches, currently riding in a Keyfit in our 2016 Ford Fusion. Due to carpool, she has to be behind the drivers side. DH and I are not super tall and the Keyfit front to back space is about perfect. We have a Myride which I hate that we had in there temporarily while I was cleaning her Keyfit cover and I had to have the seat way too far up! I have done so much research and I think we’ve narrowed it down to either the NextFit or one of the Britax convertibles but I have hesitations with both! My concerns with the Nextfit are the high sides which I think may be difficult to get her in and out with the opening of the Fusion and some of the reviews also mentioned their kids getting hot with the Nextfit fabric. We are in the South and my car has 2 small air vents on the back of the armrest which she can’t really feel and she is usually pretty sweaty when I take her out of her Keyfit. With the Britax, my biggest concern is that some people seemed to have issues with the Clicktight after a few years and my husband is adamant that we are not going to be buying a bunch of different seats like we did for ODD. Anyone have any first hand experience with our car and one or both seats? Also wondering what the difference is with the Britax Essentials line? I kinda like those because they don’t have the clicktight. TIA!
