Hi guys,
Can you help me figure this out? My son (will be three in November) has been complaining of late that his back hurts whenever he is in the car. This happens in all of his seats... his Roundabout, Advantage, Maxi-Cosi Priori, Graco Ultra Cargo... he says it in all of them. When asked for specifics he puts his hand on his lower back. I had the doctor check and nothing is medically wrong that we could find. I wondered if his legs dangled and that hurt so I propped his feet... nothing seems to help. Do you think he needs a seat with a deeper base so his knees aren't so far over the edge? He does need a new seat soon anyway, as he is 38lbs and 38". He's heavy compared to my other two who hovered at 30 lbs until they hit 4 years old or more.
If he does need a seat with a deeper base then what do you suggest? I can't do the Regent as I need the space in the middle of my Camry for other passengers and 6yo ds is in a Parkway on the other side. The new FP has a VERY shallow seat, as do the higher limit Britax convertibles. Ideas please? This is a new one on me.
(PS Sorry I haven't posted much lately... I'm in an awfully heated court case and anything I do online can be too easily monitored, so I limit computer time dramatically. Wish everything could go back to normal again. Sigh....)
