Carseat help needed

Meredith is in a Britax Frontier, which is a forward-facing seat that works with the 5 pt harness to something like 80 pounds, and works with the seatbelt to 120.

Alex is currently forward-facing in a Britax Boulevard. The Boulevard was Meredith's, and we bought it in early 2007, so I'm guessing it was made in 2006. Alex is 2y3m, and he's about 35+ pounds, 3+ feet tall - he's about the size of an average 3.5 year old.

So.... at what point would you replace the Boulevard, and what would you get???

Alex tends to fall asleep in the car, so I like that the Boulevard reclines a little bit, whereas the Frontier has more of a straight back to it. I'm not opposed to a non-Britax brand either, btw. I didn't put Meredith in the Frontier until I needed her Boulevard for Alex, so I feel kind of funny putting Alex in a Frontier or similar seat now, but I hate to buy another Boulevard and then replace it a short time later when he outgrows it.

  • I have a recaro prosport for H. We got it at baby earth before we left Texas. I'd go and try him out sitting in it. I think it's big enough to grow with him just fine. There is a piece on the bottom that flips from one direction to the other that allows for a small incline. H sleeps in it just fine though.

    It's a 5 point harness to booster. you can use the harness and latch to 90 pounds and 50 inches.
