MyRide vs Size4Me 70?

[nkinney84]

My DH and I are expecting in late August. We have a 4yr old (38lbs 38") harnessed in a Graco Nautilus (currently in the middle). We have decided to skip the bucket seat for the baby and we were leaning towards the MyRide but now with the new Graco seat out we are torn. I haven't tried to instal either one in my car (94 4runner) so don't even know if they are real options but look like the best so far. We are on a tight budget so really can't do more than $180 for a seat. I would like one that will last us a few years. My big problem is the back seat in our vehicle is small and my DH is 6'4" so needs the seat all the way back. I can put a seat behind me since I will drive a majority of the time, but the seats will have to sit next to each other instead of one on each side. Any ideas??? I am not in a huge hurry I know we have a bit of time but want to get my research in with time to spare

The Size4Me70 is so new that we really only have initial reviews. I haven't seen any posts yet about it puzzling with a Nautilus.

Have you seen the puzzling thread? There are tons of pictures of the Size4Me70. http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?t=224323

I didn't see that thread, I will look at it thanks!

Unfortunately I no longer have a Nautilus to puzzle it with, but I would say that it's probably going to puzzle better (higher armrests) than the MyRide would. If you have a BuyBuyBaby nearby, you could try it out there. If I recall correctly, the MyRide puzzled okay (not great) with the Nautilus when it was fairly reclined -- not so much upright. So there is definitely a chance for the S4M.

You could also try posting a thread (maybe down in carseat chat) asking someone for photos of the two seats together -- you may find someone with both seats. Also, I think Darren may have tried with an Argos (same shell as the Nautilus,) it would be on carseatblog.

Thanks so much. I have a buy buy baby near me, they are a pain to try seats at but will give it a shot. Wish they carried the my ride so I could test them both.
