Hi, I am new to the boards. I am seriously going insane trying to figure out the best way for my kids top travel safely since I just read how 5pt harness is far safer than bph booster seats. Maybe you professionals could help me out.
Oldest DD is almost 7yrs old, 48.5" tall, weighs 50lbs and her shoulder height is 17"
Second DD is exactly 5yrs, 40" tall, weighs 34lbs, (petite for her age) with a shoulder height of 13.5", (she has just outgrown her FF Roundabout by height).
Something to keep in mind is that I also have a 3rd child who is 2yrs old and 25lbs riding RF in a Roundabout.
Questions I have are:
Is worth purchasing the Regent for oldest DD given her height, (how much longer would she actually have in the Regent?)? Or should she continue using the Graco Turbobooster with back.
If I do purchase a Regent for the oldest DD, and she is in in for maybe one more year, should I buy/is it worth buying second DD a Regent too given that she would inherit the first one pretty soon. If not, which 5 pt harness seat should I get her that would last long?
Given that I have a third child who will most likely be in his Roundabout for a couple more years, what should I do?
Our main car is a Dodge Grancaravan and we also have a Chevy Siverado Pick up truck.
Thanks for listening. Please help me, since right now the Graco Turbo Booster seats are looking real flimsy to me, plus I am starting to have fitfull nights sleep dreaming about carseats!
