I'm looking for a fairly inexpensive booster (?) for a 4 year old for very occasional use. He is currently is in a Britax frontier and SK Radian. We have inherited an older mini-van and are deciding on what to do as we will now have 3 vehicles so 1 will be intermittently used but want to have something in their in case moving a car seat would not be possible at the time. Also for friends, etc. Unless their are fit issues, I plan on putting baby behind driver's seat and DS in center.
DS4 currently is 42.5" tall, 40 pounds, and has a torso height of almost 16". We also have a Britax Blvd but heightwise he's about done with this one. We currently don't use it but will most likely install this seat for baby #2 in the third car (we are expecting in August) once the baby is big enough. Also have a RS vest as well but this is kept in the primary car usually for emergencies or friends.
I'm willing to pay for safety but on the other hand, we have lots of other expenses and the car seat will be used occasionally so want to keep the cost in check as well. But if it's something we could use full time when he's older that would be helpful.
Cars we have & where I was planning on putting car seats:
2001 Dodge Caravan (my new primary? once baby comes). Britax Frontier. Graco safeseat.
2009 Corolla (switch too DH's primary once I'm home). SK Radian. Graco safeseat (extra base).
2004 Expedition (will be least used). New booster/car seat and Britax Blvd.
Thanks for any insight,
Susan
