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? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-carseat-are-your-kids-in-now/page/2#post-2641892 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 11:29:36 +0000 avivoca 2641892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-carseat-are-your-kids-in-now/page/2#post-2641888 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 11:22:09 +0000 peaches1038 2641888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11.5 month rear facing convertible - britax boulevard clicktight.

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. </p> <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-carseat-are-your-kids-in-now/page/2#post-2641858 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 10:27:18 +0000 winniebee 2641858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 (4.5) - FF Diono Radian RXT<br /> DS2 (22m) - RF Britax Marathon Click TIght </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-carseat-are-your-kids-in-now/page/2#post-2641856 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 10:26:25 +0000 avivoca 2641856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Probably a Graco Nautilus.

We never thought she'd be RF this long but she's quite content. Now that she can climb in by herself it's quite easy. We have to install the bucket seat this week since I'm due on Sunday so we might take the opportunity to move her FF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-type-of-carseat-are-your-kids-in-now#post-2641696 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 03:18:51 +0000 Ms. RV 2641696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 month old still in a bucket... but not for long.

For my mom's car she'll be in a Recaro Performance, also a FF high-back booster.
