Okay, I'll admit it. I'm still totally confused by this whole harness vs. bpb decision! Toby, can you help me figure out what is the right seat for when "my Adam" (as opposed to yours, LOL) outgrows his Britax RA?
He will be 4 in June. Currently, his shoulders are about level with the top harness slots on the RA (I can let him go a bit longer, right? Until they are above the top slot?). But he is still only about 34 pounds. I think maturity-wise, he would be fine (sitting still, etc.) in a bpb. But since he may still have a while (it's so hard to predict!) before he hits 40 pounds, do I still need to have him in a harness? I was thinking about going with the Evenflo Apollo, but I'm concerned about comfort once I switch it to a bpb -- he's a great car-sleeper -- I'd hate to jeopardize that! On the other hand, I also hate the idea of spending $$ on another harness seat for these last few pounds, then spending even more $$ when he's ready for a bpb.
Any suggestions? Also, do I remember correctly, Toby, that you (or your kids) liked the Jupiter Komfort Kruiser better than the Britax StarRiser/Comfy, for comfort?
Thanks a million!
