Okay. So ....here is what is bugging me.
at thsi point, NONE of the convertibles which harness to 50/65/70 have slots that are as high as the nautilus, except the como, which I am told is so narrow in the shoulders, it is impractical for a child close to the upper end of the weight/height limit anyway.
So, at this point, regardless of the convertible seat I choose for my child, it seems like they will eventually be getting a Nautilus/Regent /Frontier...
That being the case...WHY even bother with an extended harnessing convertible? Why shell out $200-300 for a Britax convertible, Radian, recaro convertible, EFTA($130), true fit, etc??
I might as well just get a cheapo convertible that only harnesses to 40, because I'm going to get another seat anyway.....
It seems to me the only benefit on the extended harnessing convertibles is going to be for a parent that will NOT be getting an extended harnessing combo/FF seat.
So, if I had a parent that I know would buy a booster after their convertible, certainly, i could feel okay recommendeing one of the EH convertibles.
But personally...I WILL be buying another EH seat (probably the nautilus if I had to choose right now,who knows what will be available in 2-3 years?) so....an EH convertible is just a waste of money, right?
i mean, I could plunk down $200-$300 for a marathon/deca/como, etc...but when my kids outgrows the top slots, I'm still going to be buying a nautilus.
It would be much more economical to just get something like a Titan, scenera, comfortsport, etc for $50-100 and then follow it up with a nauti. That gets me to a harnessed height of 19 inches/65 pounds, and for way less money than if I bought 2 EH seats.....
So..WHY on EARTH would someone buy an EH convertible seat is they intend to follow it up with an EH FF seat?
Anyway...perhaps I'm not making any sense...we're all horribly ill here, but this has been bugging me for a while now.........it just seems so...wasteful.

Thoughts anyone?
