I need ideas for a tall three year old

My Ds is almost 3. He is 39 inches tall. When seated his shoulders sit at 14 1/2 inches. He is currently in the Evenflo Triumph. He has almost outgrown it. I don't want to put him in a booster yet. I am not sure what seat to get next. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Your best options are the Graco Nautilus, Britax Frontier, and Britax Regent.
The first two seats are combination seats--they harness to a high weight and height and can be used as a booster w/o the harness. The Regent is a high weight harnessed seat, and it has the tallest harness slots of any seat on the market right now.

I would probably choose one of these, however, if he weighs less than 35 lbs and you want to keep him rearfacing AND you have a younger baby to hand the seat down to, the First Years/Compass True Fit reafaces to 35 lbs and has a really tall shell and top slots (comparable to those combo seats I mentioned).

Our ds is 3.5 yrs, 38" tall, and 30 lbs. He's about to outgrow the Britax Decathlon and Evenflo Triumph Advance (new one that is much taller than the old one) rearfacing, but has a lot of room for forward facing in these seats. When we need to hand down his seats to his baby brother, we'll probably get him a Graco Nautilus.

I agree with Henrietta. My son is 3.5 now, but was 42 inchs tall at his three year well visit. At two years he was 38 inchs tall.
