Hi all,
I have been following this subject for a while since my toddler (who will be 3 in Jan) will have outgrown his Fisher Price Safe Embrace by then, since it won't fit when he has a coat on. He's about 38" tall now and weighs about 32 lbs. I was going to get the Evenflo Apollo based on everyone's (and definitely Toby's) comments, but it's been disco'd by Babies R Us, and nobody there seems to know why (or won't say). So now I need a new pick, and I have a few things I'm concerned about...
1. This needs to fit our very small car. It's a 4-door 1993 Toyota Corolla, which is quite comfy in front but *really* small in back. Also, baby #2 was born in August, and his infant seat must go in the center of the bench seat, since it can't be held with shoulder belts.
2. I'd like something that's proven REALLY safe!!!
3. The seat should be comfy enough for semi-long rides (up to 3 hrs). My son does like to nap in the car, and some of the boosters seem to hold the child REALLY upright, and it just doesn't look all that comfortable.
What does everyone think?
Thanks!
