    @Alivoo01: Probably a Graco Nautilus. They have them in her fave colors and they have a 10-year expiration date.

    @Alivoo01: DD is really tall, if she continues that trend we will get a britax frontier/pinnacle. They are the longest lasting combination seat by height. If her height slows I would look at the graco nautilus, graco tranzitions, or a harmony defender.

    Of course she isn't even two and has a long way to go in her 4ever so who knows what seats will be on the market in a few years. So my picks are based on current seats.

    @avivoca: @catgirl: DS isn't tall, but is actually small for his age. I'll look into the Graco ones, but Britax Frontier also! Thanks!!

    11.5 month rear facing convertible - britax boulevard clicktight. Switched him over right before he turned 8 months!

    @Alivoo01: H is also small for her age, hanging out around the 25th percentile, so I'm not concerned about getting a seat with max height limits.

    @Alivoo01: I haven't really started looking yet, but I feel like I hear the recommendations for the britax frontier a lot, and the graco ones. My toddler isn't that tall so I don't think I need to worry too much about height but I'd like to keep her harnessed as long as possible. Like, until she starts driving herself?

    @Foodnerd81: my kids aren't tall either and my 8 yr old is still harnessed in the Frontier!

    @Mamaof2: wow! Does he ever complain about it? Most kids that age are in regular boosters, right?

    @Foodnerd81: he is just starting to - especially when we have his friends with us and their parents say they don't need any kind of car seat, just the seatbelt!

    I'm just nervous to make the switch!

    @Mamaof2: How big is he? My son is still harnessed at almost 6 but almost everyone in the drop off line is in a belted booster. He hasn't complained yet, but I am sure it's coming.

    DS (3 next month) is in a Britax Frontier. We LOVE this seat. Easy to install, easy to use and gives me a good amount of space behind my seat.

    DD (2m) UB Mesa bucket seat.

    3y9m and 11.75m both in RFing convertibles. DD1 is super tall though and only 1 inch away from the height limit so I think we'll flip her at 4yo.
