Hey, I'm posting for a friend of mine. Her son goes to school with my dd & he will turn 5 in Nov. He is hovering right at the 40 lb mark & is around 42-43" (I can get his stats for sure). She needs a new seat since he's outgrowing his Britax (Decathalon maybe? Not sure).
So, she loved the Nauti but when she put her son in it at home, the crotch strap was under his bum, so that's out. She will spend the money for the Frontier if needed, but she has to switch out the seat once a week & well, we all know how that would suck (FWIW, the cars it will be in are an Ody & Prius). I recommended the Safeguard Go since I love it so much, but like me, she's reluctant to use it daily due to the lack of any real protection on the sides.
She asked me about the Safety 1st Apex & I told her I didn't really know anything about it other than it's not really well thought of here, esp. in booster mode. What's the deal with the seat specifically?
Any other ideas I can give her? She'd like a seat that harnesses to 65 lbs & converts to a booster, but I'm wondering if she should just get another harness seat & then a dedicated booster later. Thoughts? TIA!
ETA: I didn't recommend any Recaros for her because she was trying to stay more in the Nauti price point. She will however, spend more if needed.
