Our 5yo has outgrown her Clicktight Boulevard. We have a Chicco MyFit, which we like except for the cupholders - both have ripped off with less than a year of normal use. She has maybe 1.5 inches of growing room in the MyFit (harness mode), which is less than I'd like to see.
So, this is a tall kiddo. And it isn't just a short term growth spurt thing. She's always been over the 95% for both height and weight.
I've been drooling over the Frontier for a long time - that harness height is exactly what this girl needs! But the recent Consumer Reports are freaky to me. I know they are still considered "safe". But a seat that breaks at 35mph doesn't cut it in my mind - we routinely drive 70mph around here. BUt the MyFit weirds me out, too - why isn't it on the Recommended Carseat list at the CarSeat Blog? And why isn't there discussion about it all over the forums?What is it that I don't know?
This sweet "little" gal has been through trauma, and has less impulse control/compliance than an average 5yo. I'd anticipate 7yo being a good time to transition to a booster. So, what seat to pick? What would you do if it was your little one?
