Best seat for a 3 1/2 yo who weighs 40 lbs?

I am currently looking for the best carseat for my daughter who is 3 1/2 and weighs 40 lbs. The van I drive (1990 Plymouth Grand Voyager) does not have shoulder restraints, so I am at a loss as to what to get. She is currently in a convertable but has become uncomfortable in it. I am curious to know if anyone has any input on this. I am going to try to buy one in about 4 days to I really need some information. Thanks.

I am curious to know if the Britax laptop would be a good option for this situation since I do not have shoulder belts?

The Laptop may work very well for you provided your child gets enough head restraint from the back of the vehicle seat. If the tops of your child's ears are above the top of the seat, they may be at risk for whiplash injuries and need a high back harnessed model like a Britax Super Elite.

Another option might be the Fisher Price Futura 20/60...

These have been discontinued, but can still be found at some Big Lots stores, www.dmartstores.com, and on ebay. They have a harness that goes to 60 pounds, and cost only half as much as a Super Elite.
