I need to buy a booster- I have no clue

trippsmom · Apr 14, 2010

I am going to need to haul dni for a few days and well, this aunt says a 43# 6yo CANNOT ride in a seatbelt alone.... She just better be glad I don't try to rf her.

Or harness her.... She's been out of a booster and everything since August.

I have skinny seats. 2 xtsls and a CCO on the way. I want to put her in the middle of the second row, getting her there is easy. I would like to have something I could keep in my car for kj to use.

I think I'd like a Go Hybrid, but holy $$$ for a seat not for my kids. I have days when I need to take a 3yo w/ me. She is 44lbs so ff in moms car and mine. How long is the life on those?

The harness on the Go Hybrid has grown some after Dorel bought it, but it used to be fairly short. I'd check to make sure it will actually fit her.

Honestly, a 6yo is probably fine in a regular belt-positioning booster. Turbos are relatively narrow and inexpensive and available (make sure you screw the arms in!).

How about a Maestro to booster the 6yo and harness the 3yo?

Depending on her torso height, she might not fit the maestro for long if at all as a booster. The headwings do not move on the maestro so pretty much once she outgrows the harness top slots, she is almost outgrown the booster as well. Love it in harness mode though. Just something to be aware of.
