BabyC925 · June 2013

a friend of mine is looking for a new car seat so i was wondering what you use for your 3 1/2 year old?

Thanks!

DD1 is not quite 3.5 but we have her in a Graco Nautilus, still harnessed. Once we figured out a small installation issue we love it.

FF? I bought DS a Britax Frontier 90 recently and he loves it. Plus I'm thrilled to know it's the last seat I have to buy him.

My LO is only 2 years old but we may soon exceed the weight limit on the current car seat so we most likely will get a convertible car seat to use. One that hopefully he can't out grow.

Britax Boulevard 70 in one car, Sunshine Kids Radian XLT(I think) in the other. She's 3 and still rearfacing, though we may have to switch her soon due to height.

Wait. What? What kind of car seat is your 2-year old in now if not in a convertible?

A radian if still rear facing or need a slim car seat. The new frontier 90 looks awesome too.

Forward facing, my top 2 choices would be the Britax Frontier or Recaro ProSport, both in harness mode.

Rear facing I would choose the Graco MySize/Size4Me/Headwise or Diono Radian.

I have an Evenflo Tribute. It is inexpensive but it works just fine.

We use the Radian RXT, my DS is still rear facing in it and will be for probably another year and a half. We just bought a third car seat for my mom's car and decided to stick with the RXT, even though we'll probably forward face him in her car, the seat has high harness weight limits for forward facing.

We love our Britain frontier 85s, but with baby 3 on the way they are going to be too wide to do 3 across seating so I wish I had bought radians/dionos to begin with. There is also a seat made by Harmony, only sold at Walmart that is similar to the frontier and nautilus for only $90-some dollars and its pretty narrow.

I am in love with the Graco Nautilus and it was recommended to me by a friend. She shared a review she read with me that helped her to make a decision. Here is the link to the article if you would like to learn more about this carseat.

this. Plus they have a super cute hot pink that makes DD feel like a princess, lol. Seriously though, a lot of research went in, and I love this seat! DS would be in one too, but we needed a radian to fit 3 across. I love our radian rxt too, but wouldn't spend the money if it'll only be used FFing. We found the frontier for 199 on amazon which is pretty good!
