My nephew is a small 7 year old. He turned 7 in October. And he is about 45-50 pound. And about 47 inches tall. He is currently in a Radian and still has about 1.5-2 inches before he is even with the highest slots.
Needless to say he will fit his Radian EASILY until he is 8 years old and maybe even after that. So really that's not the trouble.
My sister is looking for him a booster for his dad's car. He almost never rides over there so he really hasn't had on in that car. But they are buying a new car and would like a booster for him in it. This is where I started thinking... really WHAT would I do? (They will most likely get him a Graco Turbo Booster, they are still shopping.)
He is tiny so he needs something. He will fit in his harness just about forever! (Good thing they don't have a Regent! haha!) He's near on 8 years old but of course he will need SOMETHING for a while still...
So I thought it would be fun to put it out there for everyone and see just what would YOU do.
Here is what I would do.
My car would be the Radian until outgrown.
Dad's car would be the Oober or the Monterey
When he out grew the Radian in my car I'd move the Oober/Monterey to my car and buy a no back for hubby.
(Why the Oober or Monterey? Just because I like them.... No other reason really. But then I also like the Compass line too.)
or...
I would buy a Nautilus my car and move the Radian to Dad's car and then move to a No back booster when the Radian is outgrown. (Most likely what *I* would do)
So what would you do?
