Convertible front facing/booster question
My 26 month old daughter will soon be too tall for the cosco alpha omega -- her shoulders are about .5" below the slot the straps come out of. Her last growth spurt was legs only, but I'm sure the torso will catch up again! (She's 37" tall.) Based on the growth charts, I think she'll be under 40lbs until she's a few months past age 3. (She's 32lbs now).
I'm looking at the Century Next Step, as a possible next car seat. Ideally, I'd like the next seat to take me through the next year + harnessed, and then work as a booster to 80lbs.
I've heard that the convertible seats are not as safe when used as boosters as booster-only seats. Is there any truth to this? I'll buy the best carseat for her current age/size anyway, but I'd love not to have to buy a 4th carseat, since this next purchase will be #3.
Thanks!
