Question New seats for a 5yr old and a 3yr old

[Swtnsassy2c]

We have the chance to replace the seats for my husbands vehicle. He had a wreck and they are replacing seats. I got the same seats that were in the vehicle but I am taking them back to get new seats.
What seats would you recommend for a
34lb 5yr old and a 28lb 3yr old. Both will FF as this is a small nissan truck. So I'm looking for the best ff seats that will last the longest before booster or even have a booster option.
We don't have money for radians or frontiers though.
Thanks

Maybe the Evenflo Secure Kid 300 or 400 would work for you. They have tall enough harness slots to last to booster age and a 65 lb weight limit. Plus they sit lower to the vehicle seat and aren't a gigantic seat. My grandson 4.5 and 36 lbs likes his 400 without complaints.

What are their torso heights?

I would go with a Graco Nautilus or Evenflo Secure Kid. Frontiers are quite affordable right now though. Target had them as low as $158 this week.

I don't know torso height right now. I will check later.
The only problem with a nautilus or frontier is size. I have been looking at the evenflo secure kid. I think that might be my answer. Do they have any girly patterns?

They're so small I would even seriously consider a maestro. With a 50 pound harness limit, it will last a long time! We have a SK400 and my 4yo likes it, but it's definitely not comfortable for sleeping if you think he'll sleep much in that vehicle. There aren't many patterns to choose from, I think like 3 total. The harness is really short on the SecureKid, so it'll be probably be outgrown before the height or weight are reached. (For instance, my 6yo is 51 pounds and 46" and can't fit in it)
