I have a 5-year old (46", 45lbs) and 3-year old (35", 34lbs). In our Primary car they are in a Britax Frontier Clicktight and Britax Boulevard Clicktight. I know there is no study that says harnessed booster is safer than highback booster with seat belt, but My 5-year old likes to lean towards the center to look out the windshield and also falls forward when he falls asleep. I have a Graco Nautilus with safety surround (Target) in my car (mostly used on weekend), but although he hasn't reach the height limit, the crotch strap hurts him (known issue on forums). I would like to purchase either the Britax Frontier Clicktight or Graco Nautilus Elite to rerplace it.
I want to be able to us the seat for both my children and based on instructions for Graco and my experience with the Britax, moving the buckle strap is a lot easier in the Britax as I would need to fully remove the Graco to do the same. It is $100 more, but will be easier to ensure a safe fit for both my children when needed.
Anyone have experience with both these seats and can comment on ease of adjustments for different children?
Additional info:
-I only like to keep one seat installed in my car as I often put down the 60 part of the seat for lugging stuff / DIY projects
-We also have a spare Chicco Nextfit Zip that was my 3-year olds first convertible and is very easy to install with the Latch until he gets to the 40lb limit for that when I need both seats in my car
-When we travel by air to see the Great Grandparents we bring a Britax Boulevard G3 (Grandparents seat), and Graco Affix (car pool seat). The Combo seats are just too heavy to lug through the airport for gate checking (no normal checking per this forum
