I'm in in a quandry over what to do about seats for my 4 3/4 DD. I was planning on getting her a Frontier for her birthday in March, but I'm guessing that if she's about to outgrow her Marathon, then she's on the verge of outgrowing the Radian in Grandma's car. Grandma picks her up from preschool 3x a week. I like the idea of a Nautiuls for her 2nd seat, but she takes one look at it and refuses to even give it a test sit. I don't know if it's because the ones in the store are all hideous gray (she's a major girly girl) or she just doesn't care for based on whatever arbitrary criteria is in her crazy 4 3/4 yr mind.
First off, does anyone know of a place that has the Mariposa Nautilus in stock to try out?
What about something like the SafeGuard Go booster. Grandma's car is a Mazda 3 with a top tether.
Maybe she's ready for a really sturdy booster for those short trips. I would really really like to keep her harnessed, but I just can't afford 2 Frontiers.
Are there any other options I should consider?
She's tall for her age, just around 44" and while I can't get a decent torso measurement on her, she is tall in the torso (just like her Daddy!). Weight-wise, she's around 45 lbs.
