I need help deciding what car seat to buy my daughter!

My daughter will be 3 in June. She is very tall, over 40 inches already. I don't know her exact height cause we have not been to the dr since her 2 yr old appt but a classmate of hers just had her 3 year old appt and was 41 1/2 inches tall. And my daughter is taller than her! But she is also very thin, barely 30lbs. She has been in a roundabout and her shoulders now are even with the top harness slot. I know she can stay like that until they go over it but her legs are so long she looks very uncomfortable in it. I was considering the Nautilus or the Frontier (we have a SafeGuard Go in my husbands car - which we drive VERY infrequently - and we like it but only for a second car, does not offer much protection for everyday). Is it too soon to put her in a hybrid booster (Nautilus or Frontier)? Or should I buy the Marathon and then move to the GN or Frontier when she outgrows that? Or is that just a big waste of money. I figured if I did that it would give these companies time to fix all the issues I have been reading about on here! Any suggestions?

If you dont plan on rear facing her then I think a Nautilus is fine. There have been some issues with the Frontier so if you like Britax and think you want that seat, do some reading on this site about the Frontier to see if it will work in your car.
