The Nautilus would be a good choice, BUT she'll likely outgrow it fairly quick b/c she is already 41lbs at 2.5. Have you looked into the Regent? That is the tallest, highest harnessing weight seat on the market...80lbs and around 53" tall. The Nautilus will only go to 65lbs, then booster to 100lbs.

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.
