A nautilus for a tall child?

KrisBriMcBunny

I have a BLVD that Michelle has outgrown the shoulder straps....right now I'm using the Fisher Price Safe Voyage....she has lots of room left to grow.  They dont sell those anymore so I'm in the market for a new convertible.  I really dont wanna pay alot of money for a seat that isnt gonna be used for more than 2 yrs.

I wanna keep her in the convertible as long as possible before switching over to a high back booster.  Will the Nautilus shoulder straps be high enough for awhile.

It would be so much nicer if you could find a real high back booster that has a 5point harness option.

The Safe Voyage was made by Britax and uses the same shell as the Blvd, so I'm not sure how she can have a lot of room left in the Safe Voyage but not in the Blvd. Did you raise the headwings on the BLVD as high as they can go? Is one more reclined than the other in your car???

DD is outragously tall. Both my kid are. This was a big consideration when choosing out next seat. I got both a nautilus and frontier. I like them both and DD has tons of room to grow with them.

actually its the wings that are preventing from the straps going as high as the Marathon.....the FP SV is actually more like the Marathon than the BLVD.  I would love to get a Marthon but the cheapie in me just dont wanna spend that much for it if I'm only gonna use it for another 2 yrs at the most.

DD is I would guess 40 inches, 36 lbs and fits in the nautilus great with room to grow by raising the back

The Marathon won't last as long as the Nautilus. DD has both. She's in the top slot of the Marathon. She has one slot to go in the Nautilus. She's close to 43" right now.

The Nautilus is a 5 pt harness that converts to high back booster and then regular booster. I don't know what you mean about finding a "real" one.

Ethan outgrew the boulevard before the marathon for the same reason, though it was a close amount of time. I think she'll be fine with the nautilus if she still fits in a FPSV.
