I need someone to help me choose! I'm trying to choose a seat for my 8.5yo who weighs about 54lbs. I just measured her seated torso length at 17.5", but no idea if I am measuring it correctly. In a GN she looks like she has about an inch before she would outgrown the harness. She was in a Regent until last week when I had to uninstall it and couldn't get it back in afterward 
. Since it's preadvisory, I know I could put it in LBP (which is how it really needs to be to be secure--Sienna LE8), but I'm looking for what you would do if the Regent wasn't an option.
She's riding in a Recaro YoungStyle booster now, and I don't like it as a primary seat. She has gotten sleepy in it a couple times already, and she looks really bad and slumpy in it. The shoulder belt cuts across her neck when she slumps. The headwings look good, but the torso protection looks minimal on her. I'd love to get her back in a harness, though I know that ruling out the Regent is ruling out the natural choice for her.
The seats in the running for me right now: Monterey, Frontier, Recaro Start. Also have some interest in the Jane Indy Plus and I sure wish I knew more about the Clek Oobr and when it was coming out. Am I missing a better consideration? What would you do? (I know, I can already hear that most of you would go ahead and LBP the Regent. Go ahead and tell me that, but also tell me what you would do as your *second* choice).
I've got two youngers for seats to be passed down to, FWIW, though money is more of an issue than usual at the moment.
