Hello all! I have been researching on my own now for about a week but I am still torn. Here is what I need...
I have two sons that are on the autism spectrum and I want to keep them front harnessing for as long as possible. My four year old is about 43 inches tall and 43 lbs and my five year old is about 44-45 inches tall and 43 lbs. The four year old currently uses an Evenflo Maestro and the five year old uses a Evenflo Generations 65 carseat that we have had since 2009 (was the first one made). These seats are fine, but I wish I had done my research and realized they would need to harness passed the weight limits. I know the Maestro only harnesses up to 50 lbs. Before they hit a growth spurt and I am sent scrambling, I want to be prepared.
I loved the Britax Front 85 SICT and the Recaro ProSport looks really good too. My issue is we are on a VERY VERY tight budget and, ideally, we need carseats for both my husband's car and mine so that is four carseats (we take turns picking the boys up from their autism school). My in-laws also pick them up. So, as you can see, I need a high weight/height harnessing carseat that is good for the budget and super safe. Does such a seat exist?
Thank you for your time!
