New gracos vs FR85

[tylersmom]

I was about to order a FR85 and saw Graco has the new Argos. Looks like the Nautilus has changed some too?

Which of these would be the better option?! Always seems like when I decide what I want, something new comes out and confuses me all over again!

This is for DD. She's petite (can't think of height off top of height but no more than 50ish %). She's 24 lbs and 25 months.

Would you consider rear facing her?

the frontier 85 won't work she needs to be 25lbs for that one. what seat does she currently ride in?

I'd definitely consider keeping her RF'ing but if that's not an option I'd probably go with the Argos or Nauti which both fit little's rather well. She's so tiny she'd be swallowed up by the FR.

Yea I would definitely go Argos or Nauti for a smaller kid.

I don't want to RF her. This is for DH's car which she rides in a couple times a year. She's in a first gen Recaro signo that is expiring quickly.

She's in a marathon 70 in my truck. And it may be that I will take the 3-in-1 as she gets too big for Ma70 and something else for DH.

I will try my 2 yr old in the frontier 85 and tell you how he fits in it. I think the frontier will last longer but you would need to wait til she weighs 25lbs before you could use it. I prefer the frontier 85 over the nautilus.

For a small child and an infrequently used seat, I would go with the Evenflo Maestro.

I would think that by the time she outgrows the MA70, she should be ready for a booster.
