Question outgrown Combi Coccoro - what next?

[Unregistered]

Hi there - my tall (75% height) almost 4 y.o is about to outgrow his Combi Coccoro front-facing. He is tall and skinny and has outgrown all of his seats due to height vs weight. What seat would you recommend next for Manhattanites who: 1) don't own a car, so need something somewhat easy to install and transport 2) rent zipcars of varying size, so need something that will work with smaller cars like a Mazda 3 3) are contemplating a 3rd child so need a 3-across compatible. DD rides in a Chicco Keyfit 30.

Advice is much appreciated!!!

A Diono Radian (folds & can get carrying straps for it for travel) will last a very long time for that little man. It's not always the easiest install, but you can learn the tricks from others here and be totally fine with it. And it can be handed down to your dd later, when he's riding in a booster. It's probably the easiest one to fit in a 3 across, besides the Coccoro. So, they should work together, too. OR there's the Evenflo Chase (the new one that looks like a Maestro) or the Evenflo Maestro. Both are lightweight forward facing combo seats (don't last long as a booster, so I wouldn't really even consider either as a booster), but the harness slots are about as tall as the Radians for less money and lighter to move around, plus probably a more straight forward install. The Chase only goes to 40 lbs, but your little guy is a light weight..the Maestro goes to 50 lbs and will certainly last him longer. A Harmony Defender 360 would also work well.

If you end up needing a 3 across, I'd probably look into some of the harnesses that are available in lieu of a car seat...probably would fit in a three across much better and easier than toting 3 car seats. Three across in really tiny cars can be impossible, and they're rarely easy anyways.
