My son will be 4 in May and was recently turned FF in his Blvd (he was 34 pounds, and I didn't want to weigh him every day until he made the jump to 35!) and his Radian (because I got tired of the little room it left me in the front seat). Those two seats will be passed down sometime soon to his baby sister when she outgrows the KF30. I'm trying to figure out the best combination seat to buy.
He is a smaller kid. He is using the second to top slot in the Radian, with about 3/4" until he's even with that slot. He's a wiggler, but I got him measured at about 39 inches tall. I can get a torso height if that would help.
I know many recommend the Frontier, since you get more harnessing life for the same price, but I might want to go with the ProSport instead. My reasoning is that I don't think I'll need 20" of harness height, and that the ProSport might offer a better booster fit for him down the line, the skinny bean that he is. (Plus, can I say that the new Blaze cover is swaying me?
)
We don't have a place nearby that sells the ProSport. Can anyone here tell me if you think it'd be a good match for him based on his size? I certainly don't want to shell out $225 for a seat that I'll have to replace soon. I'd like to harness him for about 2 more years. He is a safety-conscious kid, and I bet he'd be ready for boostering at 5.5 or so.
Does the ProSport feel as big and wide as the Frontier? I see that the measurements are similar.
Thanks for your help!
