Carseat Crankypants
Daughter is almost seven, 48" and 51#. She seems to be able to ride properly in a booster, but she knows that if she doesn't, she'll be going back into a harness.
I like the Nautilus better as a harnessed seat than a booster; however, it is an adequate booster and I'll probably keep it as a booster in Dad's car (which she rides in maybe once a month or so). I would like to buy something different for my car.
I think I would like LATCH -- it's not *quite* a dealbreaker but it's close. Can the Clek Oobr be used in the center of a car that doesn't otherwise allow center LATCH? The Monterey can, right?
She's little. According to pixels99, she'll be 11 when she hits 4'9", and I'm fine with an 11yo in a backless booster, so I don't need the tallest seat on the market.
I have one child and no plans for more, so hand-down-ability and three-across are not really factors.
Price is a minor consideration -- I'm not willing to do a Frontier just for the booster or a Recaro Start -- but I can't think of any other booster that I wouldn't be willing to buy.
I'm leaning Monterey. Is there anything I'm missing or should be considering?
