Hi! I'm in a dilemma and I need your help figuring it out, please!
I have a 4.5yo presently in a Britax Marathon (we really have to get her out of this seat!) and a 7.75yo in a Britax Frontier.
I was just about to buy a second Britax Frontier for my youngest daughter, thinking that I need my oldest one to stay in her own seat. I like that she's safe, still using the harness. I wasn't sure at what age we would switch from the harness to the car seat belt, but I thought it wasn't the time now.
However, I've been reading a bit here on the forums and saw that many of you put their children as young as 5 or 6yo in a booster seat. So now, I'm wondering... Should I put my daughter in booster, or high back booster, using the car seat belt, and use the Frontier for my youngest one? I would save $400 on a new Frontier, and a booster is so much cheaper to buy.
However, I think about how my daughter is able to attach her harness herself, and how it will be more difficult for her to attach the car seat belt; and how we'll be going on 2-hour, 5-hour, 7-hour drives this Summer to go camping, and both my daughters will surely fall asleep and slouch in their seat...
So... what would you suggest?
