Thanks in advance for reading my rambling post
My older dd turned 5 in May. She's 35 pounds. I don't know her torso height, but she's JUST outgrowing the original Triumph. She rides in a MA in my car. She rarely rides in DHs car, but I like to have the option. So, I need 1 carseat now (to replace her Triumph) and another in a few months. I will probably pass down the MA to my younger dd when her Triumph expires next March.
I was thinking of getting a Nautilus for her- Rachel, Mariposa, or Daisy. I've only seen Mariposa in person- how do the other covers compare?
Would you suggest another seat?
Also, I'd like a spare seat in my mom's car, too. She may pick her up from school (only 2-3 blocks away) one day a week. I was considering an Apex, but they aren't too much cheaper than a Nautilus. Would anyone consider booster training? As much as it would be easier, I think she's just too small. She is safety conscious and I'm confident she would sit right.
ETA: DH drives a 2-door 99 Civic with the belts forward of the bite. Does anyone know if the Nautilus installs with that?
Thanks for any advice!
