Hello,
Here are the facts. Help me decide what to do by telling me what YOU would do if it were YOUR kiddo.
DD is 5 years old, in Kindergarten, and still rear-facing in a seat we bought before she was born (it's still in date, although not for much longer)! She is 41.5 inches and still has room at the top of the seat (she's not too tall). I weighed her yesterday and she was 38.2 lbs. with light clothing on (so not too heavy, either--the limit is 40 lbs.). We are taking a long road trip this weekend. DH wants to turn her around and/or get her a harnessed booster. Here are my questions: would you turn her even though she's not QUITE at the seat's rear-facing limits? If so, would you just use the convertible seat for now, until it nears expiration, or get a new harnessed booster? And if you would turn her/get a new booster, what would you select? I still have time to run out and purchase something today.
Thanks!
