I posted about my nephew awhile back, he's 3 1/2 and over 40lbs and still riding in a seat with a 40lb weight limit, I think its a Graco something or another. I was thinking of getting him a new seat, wanted to get a Nautilus but now I'm thinking I don't want to spend that much because I'm still leaning towards getting an infant seat for our new LO due in December so I don't want to spend all our money on getting my nephew a seat but I do feel like he needs something else! His parents don't see a problem with leaving him in the seat he has outgrown so dosn't look like they will get him anything different anytime soon. But they have mentioned wanting a booster for him.
Would it be safer to get him a booster than leave him riding in a seat that he has outgrown? I'm not sure how he would do...I know he still sleeps in the car...
I was thinking a Recaro Vivo? They are on sale at diapers.com and with the 15% off code it would be $67.99. I don't really know much about boosters though....
As a side note, I would never put my own 3 year old in a booster and would rather my nephew not be in one either but I just think it might be safer than leaving him in an outgrown seat thats probably not even installed correctly, harness too loose, chest clip too low....you name it! I think they might use a booster more correctly than the outgrown convertible they have.
