Question Best seat for 3 year old on school bus?

My three year old started public preschool today. Our district doesn't provide seats, some kids don't even use them :(. We had it written in to his IEP that he is required to use one and we will provide it. For now he is in a Britax Roundabout, but it expires next month. We'd like to replace it with something taller and with a higher weight limit, but want something that will fit better on a school bus. The roundabout on the bus leaves him very little leg room. He is only 35 lbs and is short. We do want something that is easy to use since the teachers/aides will be putting him on the bus for the ride home. I'd love something reasonably priced, but we are willing to spend extra for comfort/ease of use/best fit. I haven't car seat shopped in awhile and it looks like there are a lot of seats out there that I know nothing about. So what would be a good seat for our purpose?

I'd look at the Graco Nautilus first. Easy to install and use, top slots 3.5" taller than the top slots on the Roundabout, 65 pound harness limit, 100 pounds as a booster. Since it doesn't sit up high on a base it should offer him more legroom.
