No slump FF seat with integrated cupholders?

[unityco]

Not the clip-on optional cupholders. My niece currently rides in a Nautilus but has serious slump issues in it; so bad she wakes up crying with pain. My sister also has a MyRide, but it doesn't install FF that well. A Frontier's out of their budget. Are there any other options?

Maybe just watch for a deal on a Frontier. My kids sleep soooo well in that seat and were so excited to have 2 cup holders!

I've installed the MR FF a couple times and find it isn't that bad what is the issue with it?

Have you tried the SecureKid? [ame="http://www.amazon.ca/Evenflo-30811269C-SecureKid-Grayson-Seat/dp/B007IGLEFY/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343265097&sr=8-1-fkmr1"]Evenflo 30811269C SecureKid 400 Grayson Car Seat: Amazon.ca: Baby[/ame]

It's based on the Maestro, so you could get an idea on how it would fit by trying the Maestro.

She's just not fond of it. It installs safely, just a bit too reclined and it sits high enough that her daughter can't climb in herself easily. Plus, she'd rather use it for her son.

I wondered if one of the Evenflo seats might work. Too bad we can't see them locally. Are they generally better for slump than the Nautilus?

My local Sears carries the Maestro. I'm in Newfoundland.

I have a Nautilus in one car and a Maestro in the other. My DD also has BAD head slump issues in the Nauti. Its not as bad in the Maestro but it's not great either... When she's in a deep sleep her head will slump but she can keep it upright until she is really deeply asleep. With the Nauti her head slumps the second her eyes shut. She was FF in the Complete Air when my son was still in his bucket seat and her head never ever slumped so this slump thing sucks. Thankfully she doesn't sleep in the car much anymore.

Why integrated versus clip-on? The TrueFit was my first thought, but the cupholder is clip-on.

I haven't seen it myself, but she says they're too low for her kids to use easily. :shrug-shoulders: Also, they can be a pain for side-by-side installs, which happens with some frequency for her (and a lot more when #3 makes his appearance.) I think she's just been spoiled by the Graco ones. (She already has a TF too. :thumbsup: Her current inventory (well, actually the communal carseat collection ) includes: MyRide, True Fit, EFTA, Nautilus, Radian and a SS1.)

My 4 yr old has horrible slump in the Maestro and occasionally slumps in the Frontier, she's never ridden in a Nautilus so I don't know how they compare. Both of my kids have broken clip on cup holders using them as steps to crawl into their seats, that might not be as much of problem FF though.

The only seat my dd doesn't have head slump in is the CA but it doesn't have cupholders. She gets serious, waking up screaming, painful headslump in every single other seat, even RF.
