My friend is in IL and I'm in TX. She was in an accident today and needs to replace her 2 boys' carseats. She has 96 Buick Regal. Her ds1 is going to 4 in October, weighs 32lbs and is 38inches tall. Her ds2 is is 5 months old and about 15-16 lbs. She is going through insurance and wants to get the best seats she can at a reasonable price. (her words) So what would you recommend? She needs to go ASAP to get new seats, so she will need recs in the morning. I have some thoughts, but I'm curious to see what other (wiser) people here think. Thanks.

I think the 4 year old is in an older 40 lb Evenflo Triumph (I could be off here) and her baby is in an infant seat. She actually mentioned getting a high back booster for her oldest. But i will address that. Thanks. I had similar thoughts.

If budget is a major issue, I might go Maestro/MyRide. If she's willing to RF the 3.5yo, maybe a CA, but if she's talking about boostering him then I'm guessing RF is not an option.
