I am looking to buy new seats for my 4 and 6 year old. Both weigh 44 pounds and are 46 and 47 inches tall. My 6 year old is very small and my 4 year old is very active and I feel they are both safest in a 5 pt. I am using a booster with my cars seat belt now and feel they are both VERY unsafe! I thought I had decided on the Radian then noticed the height limit was 49 and my boys are 47 inches each. I read the post about it being OK to use it if they are taller but not sure I am comfortable doing that. I do not have top tethers (HOnda Odyssey 02)so I cannot use the safe guard go. The Regent is just so huge and I would like something that can fit 3 cross when they are in my husbands care since I have a 2 year old also. I guess I could just use the old boosters for those times but I would like them to be safe ALL the time. Has anyone used the Alpha Elite Apex 65? I looked at it in the store last night and it is cheaper than the Regent and maybe a little smaller. It has these big armrests though that seem pointless and take up space. I cold barely lift the regent myself. Price is my last concern though. I am desperate for advice as we are driving from Atlanta to Chicago in 2 weeks and I want them to be comfortable then and safe ASAP. Please help!
