Hi all! Long time lurking, first time posting So thankful to have this forum...
My DD is 15 months old, 22 pounds, 30 in tall with a torso height of approx 12 inches. I drive a 2002 Escalade and I hope to move her to one of the outboard positions (she is currently center in an onboard air 35). My car does have LATCH, and I hope to be able to use that if I can get a good install that way, but I am comfortable with seatbelt installs as well.
It is time to get her moved into a convertible and I *think* I have narrowed it down to 2. The true fit premier or the maxi cosi pria. I would like for DD to rf until 3 and harness for al long as possible (6ish). I am drawn to the maxi cosi pria because of the head wings ( I do understand that they are not proven to be safer). We do not have a budget for this seat.
I guess my questions are these:
Which do you prefer? Why?
Should both of these seats be good options to meet my rf/harness goals?
Does anyone know of any vehicle incompatibilities I should know of?
Am I missing another good option?
Thank you all in advance! I know we are close to Christmas and I appreciate the time you all take to help parents like me.
