Hi there we have recently become new foster parents to 2 girls. 1-2yrs 36lb and the other 7 42lbs. What is the best seat to get for them.I drive a 08 caravan, i would be putting them in middle seats in back. It has been along time since I have had to think about this as the kids I usually deal with have seats of their own privided by the ministry. Help please and ty

How long do you think you will have them?

For the 2 yr old, I would look at the Evenflo Maestro for $80 or the Graco Nautilus for $160ish.

For the 7 year old, as long as she can sit still, the Graco Turbo booster for about $50.

Right now I think we have them for a min. of 6 months. Just the beginning for us I think. Tks for the info and would that be a backless booster, or a harness, sorry it has been awhile since we had to invest in good seats, they will always be needed. I am sure that I will have a stockpile of them soon enough lol:)

High back booster, if she will fit:) Offers more side impact protection (at least we think so...).

The 7 year old seems a bit on the small side, so the high back turbo should be a perfect fit for her.

If you can swing it, the nautilus might be a better long term seat for you, as it will last longer.

tks for the info, this will make it easier. Goodthing is I buy them and the ministry reimburses. So I guess even though out of pocket now I do get it back eventually. So cost isn't really an issue.:thumbsup:
