Peg vs Fllo vs Pria

[Hazelandlucy]

My 2 yr old is currently in a Foonf in my car, but I am 5'3 and find lifting her up hard and the only way she does it herself easily is to use the center seat to crawl in. But I bought the minivan and want to take advantage of it and put my baby in the middle and let myself feel like she is protected as possible.

I played around with the Peg and l love it. Going to get one for the baby in my car. I want to give my husband the Foonf for DD1 and get something that's easier loading for DD1 in my car. She is average and any of the seats will get her to 4 RF.

What's the easiest loading and has the most leg room? Is the Peg or the Fllo higher up? The Pria looks lowest, but then I hear about the harness being difficult to loosen (even in the 85?) and the chest buckle is a little awkward for me. I also worry about the plastic frame when all the other seats seem to be moving towards steel.

Thanks!

What about a Radian? It's by far the easiest seat for loading!

I had crossed that off my list originally because was hoping for a better travel seat (non locking seat belts, no latch cars in the UK), but now that I have given up trying to find a seat that "does it all" I will reconsider it! It's just so low sided I worry about SIP....would vehicle intrusion hurt the exposed lower body? I am an over thinker!!

Honestly, a >2500 lbs moving vehicle hitting anything, let alone intruding, will make damages. If your car is newer and has side curtains air bag, you shouldn't be so concerned about SIP or lack of. The new Diono line up (olympia, pacifica, Rainier) have beefer sides. You could give them a try!
