Which one would you pick for a FF seat? I am worried about head slump with ds3 in the SecureKid. I played with a Symphony a while back when ds3 was RF and loved it but didn't try it FF. The SureLatch was awesome RF. I wish I would have tried it FF. I also like the infinite slide harness on the Symphony. So for my questions:
*Does the FF recline (position 2) on the Symphony have enough recline to prevent head slump? If so that seems like a big pro to me over the SecureKid.
*Is the Symphony harness as close together at the neck as the Maestro and SecureKid? Ds3 complained in his Maestro in FIL's car last weekend.
*Does anyone know how high the Symphony sits up on the base when FF? DS3 has trouble climbing into his MA70, Is it lower than that?
*From the pics I have looked at the SecureKid makes a decent booster. How is the Symphony as a booster? (Ds3 is tiny at 3.5 yrs 29 pounds and 37ish inches. His torso height is about 13 inches. I have no plans to booster him anytime soon but am looking to not have to buy a bunch more seats. I would like this next one to make a decent booster that will last for a little while. I figure when/if he outgrows it he can move into ds2's hbb's and ds2 can get new nbb's.) I love buying new seats but money is tighter now and I don't know what the future holds.
The only other seats I am considering are the CA and FR85. The FR85 installs nicely in my van with LATCH but is kind of overkill for my little shrimp. He fits great in the CA but I haven't tried it FF in my van and it doesn't become a booster. Both are still possibilities though. So what would you get?
