Hey!! It's been a while since I've posted on here...
My DD will be 6yo in Dec and she's 60lbs, 47inches tall and wears a Medium in Girls clothes (size 7-8) for an idea of her stats.
She's currently in a Recaro Performance Sport in my car and a Graco Nautilus 65 in Dad's truck (Still using harness for both) for our main seats.
That being said, both of these seats she has only 4.5 - 5lbs left of harness life which is why I am sad.
I LOVE the Recaro and am well aware that it converts to a booster, but we hate the no cup holders. Those crappy mesh pockets suck for holding a drink.
So.. I am thinking I will get a regular booster (Her Dad will convert his seat because he refuses to spend any money on another one and is adamant about her being in a big kid seat because all his friend's kids have been since 2yo).
I think she's ready based on the fact that she rode in one that I use for a girl I babysit the other day and we went over shoulder belt positioning, not slouching or reaching for anything, not moving the belt in any way, she doesn't EVER fall asleep in the car anymore unless its a LONG ride (which I will use the Frontier 90 we also have for those, it's in my boyfriend's truck --not her dad-- which she rarely ever rides in)...... and because of her Dad's comments, along with my sisters' kid's comment about her seat being "a baby seat" and the car circle line at school...I think its time to move her to a HBB.
Long winded explanation of our current situation, but..
What are the best HBBs on the market?
What are the Worst ones?
Cup holders are a must!
People's reviews online are NOT helping and I can tell half of them are using it improperly or have a 2 year old in there or my favorite (not) some haven't even used it but give it 5 stars because they think it looks nice... :thumbsdown:
Thank you in advance! You've always been so helpful over the years since she was a wee one!
