What seal for a special needs kiddo who is exceptionally small?

A friend has a little guy who's about 2.5 and weighs 14 lbs. He has low tone and a metabolic disorder that means he will likely stay small for a loooong time. I'm not sure of his height, but he's definitely taller than your average 14 lb baby.

I love the looks of the Corcorro, but my kids are all too tall for it too quickly. Any other consideration for this kiddo? He's been in a bucket up till now, and hasn't outgrown it, but his mom wants to put him in a convertible.

The First Years True Fit or TF Premiere would be a great option for this child. The top portion can be removed until he reaches a certain height and weight (22 lbs I believe) and then when the top is added, it becomes one of the tallest convertibles out there and has a 35 lb RF limit.

I'd also suggest the my ride- but I'd say wait a couple months, because a new one is coming out that allows the insert to be used in two harness positions, as opposed to one.

I would say truefit because it has a tall back. The myride 65 is nice, but it will outgrown by height long before the truefit.
