Hi all - thanks in advance for all your input and for the great resource this site is!
My partner's cousin is in town visiting with her son who is about 21 months old, same age as my daughter. When I was loading him in her car after our playdate today, I realized that she has him in a high backed booster - pretty sure it was a very old Harmony. The kid must weigh less than my daughter, who is 28 pounds. He's pretty light. Even if he met the weight requirement, he's a 2 year old in a high backed booster.
I don't know his mother really at all. I mentioned that it must be pretty light as a travel seat, and she said it was his regular seat he uses daily. She has 2 older sons - I think they are about 6 and 4. I want to buy her a new seat for him, but I'll probably have to play it off as if it's our spare seat that we are just going to get rid of anyway to get her to take it.
I doubt if she has her little guy in this seat that I'd be able to convince her to rear-face him, so I'm looking for a relatively narrow (I assume at home he's sharing the back seat with his brothers), inexpensive seat that can forward face for a good long time. I'd estimate he weights about 24 pounds right now and he is a little shorter than my daughter who is 37.5 inches. He's skinny and looks to have a pretty short torso. I've been looking at the Cosco Amp, the Evenflo Tribute, the Guide 65. I just don't know if there are any others I should look at. I don't know what kind of car they have, but they are young and not well off, so I would assume it's probably not a brand new car. Thanks in advance.
