Question Do I need a regular seat or special needs?

I have an about 39" 37lb 3.5yo rf in a Britax Boulevard ClickTight. She has OSA, dysphagia, hypotonia, joint laxity, wears knee & ankle braces and is currently stiil at the infant recline angle as anytime I try and move it up a notch and she falls asleep she will wake up screaming and I think it's from apnea.
So I think I need a ff seat that reclines and has a foot rest. I saw Britax has come out with one. Are there others with a foot rest? How about special needs seats? Anyone know if medical insurance would pay for the new Britax or only those designated special needs? Any insight is appreciated!

At that size, I would look at a seat that rear-faces to 50 pounds. There are a number in the market, the Graco Extend2Fit line being quite popular. There are others you could consider too, of course!
