I am looking for a convertible car seat for a 16 mth old boy toddler with low muscle tone and hydrocephalus (swelling of the brain). He is 18 lbs and 29 in. He has 3 VP shunts in his head. He sits in a tripod position (mostly supported), rolls some, and does not crawl. He also has some visual impairment.
I am looking for suggestions on the best seat to buy and what are the "must have" items to look for in a convertible car seat for him. I am looking for a seat that will support his body and possibly also provide cushion support for his head while RF and FF. I read somewhere that he may have to sit at more of reclining angle. If so, we have a 2007 FORD expedition and I will take any advice on those types of seats that will fit in the second row.
Currently, he is in a Graco Snugride. We place a cushion around his head to try to keep his head from "flopping" around during long trips while he is asleep. He is a twin so we will have 2 convertible car seats in the second row. Also, looking for your recommendation if it is better for him to be in the center rather than on the side behind either the driver or passenger. His brother does not have any special needs.
Thank you for any suggestions or recommendations.
