Hello, I'm looking for recommendations for a new seat for our soon to be 4 yo. She is very tall, 42+" and weighs 44 lbs. We currently have a Clek Foonf that we love but are close to outgrowing.

Is she rear-facing or forward-facing?

If she is rear-facing and you want to keep her that way, you might try the Extend2Fit, although I don't know that it would buy you significantly more time. If she is already forward-facing (or you are ready to turn her FF with he next seat purchase), a Britax Frontier Clicktight will keep even the tallest/largest kids harnessed for a good long time.

Depending on the length of her torso (seated shoulder height) she might not have very many choices. My son is 46" with a freakishly long torso and he only fits in an Evenflo SureRide and Britax Frontier. I can't imagine a kid at 42"+ would have much growing room in the Extend2Fit.

I used the Evenflo Sure Ride. My son was still 4 and 47" and 49 lbs.
If I had more space I'd go with Britax Frontier but we had a tight 3 in a row.
