Please rec a carseat for a huge 2YO

DD is the size of a 3 year old, and she's outgrown yet another seat (the Roundabout).  Her head is over the top.  : (

What should I get that will see us through to booster time, given that she's so dang tall?

Thanks!

  • We have a Britax Marathon and a Roundabout.  The Marathon is definitely much larger!  However, you might want to look at something like this https://www.amazon.com/Graco-Nautilus-Car-Seat-Matrix/dp/B0011URFRE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319932410&sr=8-1.  I've heard good things about it and it will take you through several stages.  Plus, it's way cheaper than the Britax.

  • We have a Sunshine Kids Radian 80SL. It has one of the tallest shells on the market. It can be used up to 53 inches, with a 45 pound rear facing limit and an 80 pound forward facing limit (and used with LATCH up until that point, too!). Super easy to install and uninstall.

    Highly recommend it. I love how easy it is to travel with as well - it folds flat and can turn into a backpack. We bought ours from Albee Baby - free shipping, and they are on sale right now, $189 and $199 depending on the color you want.

  • Is she forward facing?    We have a britax frontier for Olivia and I love it!    It goes to 65 inches tall.  It converts to a belt positioning high back booster, as well.   
  • Graco Nautilus! It has a 5 point harness till 65lb, then converts to a high back booster, then a backless booster!!

  • I'd go with the Radian if you're still RFing. I have peanuts but all my friends with tall kids who have one LOVE theirs.

  • Thanks, ladies, I just ordered the Britax Frontier after reading all the reviews for the Graco and the Britax.  I'm relieved it'll be the last carseat I'll have to buy.

    Dobie, she's front facing.  No peanut here.  I'm convinced she's going to be playing volleyball or basketball in the 2028 Olympics at this point.  Love the pic of your little princesses!  Lilith is so big!

  • Thanks! Lilith is quite the toddler now. So very bitter sweet. 

    Glad you were able to settle on the seat! I've heard great things about the Frontier, too.
