Booster seat - Graco Nautilus or Britax Frontier 85?

[eaglecow]

Patrick thinks we need to move Parker into a booster seat. I'm on the fence because he fits just fine in the Britax Boulevard still, but it would be nice to have one in his car so we don't have to always switch seats back and forth when we go somewhere with just one kid. Any thoughts or preferences on one vs the other?

We have the Graco Nautilius and love it. It's a great seat. I don't think you need to move Parker into a booster seat yet. Keep him in a 5-point harness for as long as possible--it's the safest option for him. The Graco will switch to a booster when he's ready, so you won't have to buy any more carseats after that.

I guess I didn't mean booster - I meant a seat that will convert to a booster but that still has a harness. I don't plan on getting him out of a harness for quite a while, especially since he's on the small, petite side. Patrick is just hoping we'd find something smaller (lower to the seat?) to give Parker more feet room than he has right now so he isn't constantly banging and pushing on the seat back.

We tried both in our car and thought the britax was much less bulky.
