I am trying to figure out what would be the best car seat to to buy for a second car for my 3 year old. He is 32 pounds and about 36 inches tall. I want to keep him in a harness as long as possible, but am getting pretty stressed trying to decide what kind to buy. At first I thought a combo seat but it seems like most of them aren't that comfortable or have much padding. He still falls asleep in the car.
I hate to sound cheap (and would never sacrifice safety for cost), but we currently have a Britax RA that will also need to get replaced when he hits 40 lbs so I am trying to avoid spending a fortune if at all possible....what do you recommend? I was looking through previous postings and while the issues are similar, my concern is that my son's weight and height are on the low end.
Should I bite the bullet and get the Marathon, assuming that it will be awhile till he hits 65 lbs? Jupiter's KK sounds very appealing b/c it goes to 100 lbs, but has no harness, not to mention that he barely meets the weight minimum.
By the way, Evenflo's Appollo has been discontinued.
So, any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
