Welcome to car-seat.org.

Most of the time, I would recommend a convertible car seat for a two year old so that the toddler could ride in the rear-facing position. There are a few seats that would work for your grandson. The Diono Radian rear-faces to 45lbs. There is a separate angle adjustor that allows the seat to be installed more upright for older children. The Clek Foonf - with a 50lb rear-facing limit - is another option. Both of these seats have a 65lb weight limit for the harness. I would only consider these options if you are planning to use it in the rear-facing position for your grandson.

If you are only planning to use the seat in the forward-facing position, then you will want to look at a combination car seat. A combination seat will keep him harnessed for the next 3 years or so and then will convert to a booster seat. The combination seats to consider are the Evenflo Securekids, Graco Nautilus/Argo, Britax Frontier/Pinnacle.

If you want to tell us more about your situation - like what car the seat will be used in - and your budget, we can help narrow down the seats for you.
