Advocate vs Pinnacle

I have 4 kids all in seats of some sort currently and was hit by another car today and need replacements. My 7 week old is in a Britax Chaperone and we'll be getting the same seat, my 7yo is in a Britax Frontier 90 and will get the same, 9yo in the Frontier 90 as a booster and we'll get the same for her too. It's my 4yo I am not sure of. She is in an Advocate now which we got when she was ~1yo and rear facing. She is now FF so I'm unsure of Advocate or Pinnacle. The price is basically the same, just wondering if there is a benefit to one over the other at this point. She's small for her age so she'll be harnessed awhile, and can ultimately use her sister's Frontier when she outgrows the Advocate (that was our plan anyway), so I don't necessarily need the option to booster her in that seat later on. Opinions on which is a better fit for a 4yo?

I'd get the 9 year old a dedicated booster and the Frontiers or Pinnacles for the others if you don't to booster your 7 year old.

Or an Advocate or whatever else you like for the 4 year old with the intent to pass it down to the baby to rear-face in, then pass down a Frontier and get the oldest a dedicated booster. Less out of pocket for you long term.

Yes! I overlooked the baby! I would probably get a convertible for the 4 year old to pass down. With that change you could get the Frontiers or Pinnacles for the 7 and 9 year olds and plan on getting the 9 year old a dedicated booster later.

Thanks!

My 9yo uses the Frontier as a booster now, so That's right, if I get the Frontier for her, I can pass that down, and stick with the Advocate for my 4yo and pass it to the little guy. I hadn't thought about passing anything to him, I guess cause he's so small I can't even think that far ahead. But soon enough he'll need a rf convertible! That totally makes that decision easier!
