Hello. My 2 1/2 you son is 35 lbs and 38 inches tall. His current carseat is forward facing (since he turned 2) as he has a long torso and legs. I noticed that the shoulder straps are below his shoulders and must come up and around, I would obviously move the straps up if there was a higher position available in the current car seat but there is not. I mentioned it to his pediatrician, as the car seat states the baby can use the seat up to 40lbs. But my gut was correct, the pediatrician said he needs a larger seat because shoulder straps that come from below the shoulder allow too much 'give' if an accident occurs likely resulting in an injury to the child that could have been prevented. Question: what's the safest and most economical carseat out there for a lengthy young lad like my son? Again, he is 2 1/2, so he will only get bigger. I prefer a seat that will last a few years. Thanks!
