Last week I asked if I should upgrade my car seats & it was necessary. I am now in limbo if I should harness my son or just go for a larger booster? My son is 4.5yrs old, 45lbs, 45" tall, and 15" from bum to top of shoulder. I really really like the Recaro ProBooster (& the Vivo but ProBooster looks like more protection). If I go 5pt I am debating between the Graco Naut. or Britax Frontier 85. He has 1 booster & sits very well & behaved in it (better than his 7ry old sister).
However, I do not like that the Recaro's don't have cup holders. The cup holders are important because he can't reach the ones in the car w/o compromising his belt position.
I'd prefer to keep him harnessed for another 6mo to 1.5yrs if possible, but I think he's going to be a tall kid and I don't know how long he'll "let" me harness him. I hate to spend a lot more for the harness if we only use it for a few months; but safety is important too. Urgh...decisions decisions. Any advice on it you feel I should definitely keep him harness or not, &/or which seat would be greatly appreciated!!

I never bought a nautilus because so many kids have head slump in it and i want my kids to be able to fall asleep comfortably in the car.
