I LOVE the Nextfit. It was 'stupid easy' to install, you can get it for about $225, and it has high rear facing limits. One other plus for us is that the seat seems to take up less front to back room compared to other seats with similar height and weight limits.

We're going with the Britax Advocate 70-G3 because of the increased side impact protection. We drive an SUV that has side bucket seats in the middle row, so she will always be against the side of the car, side impact protection was important to us and the Britax had that. Plus, easy to install (practiced with the floor model) and the additional padding and support was important to us. Also- super easy to take the cover off to wash
We have a Foonf. Worth ever penny to me. I'm a big fan of the fact that it crash tests at 3 years the same FF as it does RF. I don't know of any other seat that does that. It is more expensive but I figured I spend money on far less important things.
Re: Time to move into a bigger car seat - Recc's?
Take a look at the brand new Chicco Nextfit convertible. It is pretty awesome and has some great features.
