My head is spinning with all I've read. Just when I think I know what set I want I read something I don't like.
My DS is 5yrs old (will be 6 in Jan) and weighs 35# and is 42.5". His current seat (an Eddie Bauer something) is 5 years old and he goes to 40# harness. I don't want to use his current seat as a booster.
So my question is at this time do I buy a harness seat with a higher harness weight or buy a booster? At his age/weight/height should I still keep him in a harness or go with a booster?
DH would like me to find the cheapest seat possible but I just may have to convince him we need to spend more money.
I've considered:
Radian, heard it was difficult to install. I need something easy.
Safeguard, HOLY MOLY expensive
Regent, also expensive and I wonder if my DS would even hit the 80# limit before the 6 year expiration date. Anyone use their seat beyond 6 years?
Apex, thought I wanted this seat until I read how flimsy it is. I don't know now.
Parkway, Recaro Sport, Monarch are all boosters I've looked at online. I just don't know if he should be in a booster yet or still be in a harness.
Suggestions?
