This sounds silly (and I think I know the answer) but I have a friend with a ten year old daughter weighing 65 pounds and a six year old son weighing thirty pounds. They are tall and thin. But my question is, should she spend the money on a Husky and a Marathon (or similar seat) to harness the 10 year old and RF the six year old? She also has a two- almost three- year old who is harnessed in a combo seat but he's a big boy probably about 38 pounds. I'm not worried about him needing a harness past 40 pounds because of his age since he already has experience riding in a BPB and does fine. The daughter fits fine in a regular belt. It rests correctly and her knees are at the edge of the seat. But because of her weight she is in a booster and her mother and I are debating the Husky. The son is fine in a booster as well but he is so skinny (and fits in the Marathon height-wise). So she was thinking get a Husky now for the daughter and have her ride in it until the almost three year old hits 40 lbs (but that may be a while since he's starting to grow taller and not gain) then move him into the Marathon and the six eyar old into the Husky. But then she was thinking is it THAT much safer? They are in a bit of trouble money-wise and since they all do fine how they are now, should they spend close to $500 on new seats?
We're a bit confused on what we should do.
P.S. The six year old rides in the combo booster using the harness when his brother isn't in the car but they had origionally bought two BPBs for the ten year old and then realized the convertible seat they were using for the youngest was expired and moved him to the combo and the middle child to the extra BPB.
