Hi,
I am searching for our last car seat for my 4.5 yo twins. They are still using a Britax Marathon and I know it will still last for awhile. They are only 33 and 36 lbs. I am not looking to switch them out of the convertible as this is the primary car that I drive and most of the time they will be in. But I need to get a HBB because I will need to occasionally use in another car so it would be a spare. Ultimately they will be using this HBB in my primary car when they outgrow the convertible.
Safety is a concern so I am considering harness HBB only. Secondly weight of the seat is important because it may be switched between cars. Third, I need a narrower seat because I put them side by side, allowing a passenger to sit in the rear, and also allowing access to the 3rd row. It would be used in a Acura MDX or BMW X3. My primary car is a Honda Pilot. Being the X3 is the smallest of the cars, only a narrow seat would allow someone to sit comfortable next to the 2 car seats.
Hope someone can offer suggestions and input.
Thanks for your help!

To help you in your research, I wanted to let you know that the type of seat that you are looking for is called a combination seat (that is a forward-facing seat with a harness that later becomes a highback booster and then later, on some models, a backless booster). Highback boosters (HBB) are used with the shoulder and lap belt in the vehicle to restrain the kiddo rather than a harness.
