Hello,
I've been searching for a new seat for my son. He will be 4 August 31st. 40", 36-37lbs, with a 14" torso height. He's currently in an Evenflo Victory.. I think that's it. The oshkosh cover one. Anyway, I noticed a few months ago that he's about to grow out of this thing any minute. Since then he's grown two inches.. all in his legs, which has bought me a bit more time. He just doesn't seem comfortable in it anymore. His head falls every time he sleeps in the car now.. which is several times a week. The straps are also looking a little worse for wear.. and I don't want to buy new straps since I really think he needs a new seat. I was going to try to wait until he turned 4, then get him a booster, but we're going on a road trip this summer and I want him to be comfortable and safe. I'm just not sure if he's ready for a booster. He really enjoys being in his carseat.
I've come across the Nania Airway which seems to fit the bill.. but has been discontinued. Are there any other seats out there like this.. not too expensive, harness to 50-60lbs and convert to a high back booster? Besides the Apex, I really didn't like that seat. Is Nania coming out with a new seat this year or is that just a rumor? I don't think I want to buy a britax if he's going to grow out of it in a year and we have decided against the Regent. I drive a 2003 hyundai elantra right now. Can anybody help me? I need to make a decision soon. sorry so long.
