Nautulus VS Apex 65

We currently have a Apex 65 in my husbands car (which is only used aprox once a week) for our soon to be 5yr old daughter. She is aproximately 45lbs and 43in (don't know her torso height, atm) We have hated it since we got it. I would like to replace it if I can talk the husband into it he says we've already spent too much on car seats :eek:

Anyone have anything comparing these 2 seats side by side?

Thanks

BTW -- our 2.5yr old is in Marathons in both our cars, and the 4.5yr old is in a Radian in my car.

Just an FYI, my 4 year old really did not like his Apex that we had for a year. I didn't like how wide it is when he transitions to booster mode. He complained that he couldn't sleep in it because of the wings being so far out. He LOVES his new Nautilus and I like that he isn't on the top harness slot like he was for the Apex.

I haven't had any trouble installing my Nautilus in three different vehicles. (Escort, Focus, 2007 Odyssey)

the additional torso height aside, it's lifespan is awesome... 6yrs as harnessed and highback (and you can latch and tether it in highback mode), then 3 more years just as a backless.

So... he'll have the added security of it latched in when used as a highback booster, and with the lifespan, it should be the last seat she ever needs.

And you can sell the Apex on ebay or craigslist or here.
