My almost 5, almost 40lb eldest is about to out grow the cosco scenera we've been using as a travel/occasional use car seat. At home it's not a problem - we use a radian and there is plenty of room to grow.
What to do when flying/traveling?
- We like not to have to take her seat with us. But of course, the radian would do fine in a rental car if we uninstalled it.
- We don't use a car seat in flight.
- We'd like not to spend a lot of money on said extra seat.
- In ~2 years, we will hit this same issue for #2.
We could get any number of boosters - easy to carry, but I don't know if travel is the best time to learn to sit properly. If we did this, would we want the high back?
Or we could get an inexpensive carseat with a higher forward facing weight limit - height might be an issue for how long these last - I'm guessing we are 42" now.
Something like the immi go would work well, but the price seems high for what really is occasional use.
Thoughts? recommendations?
