We are looking to get a car seat or harness for our 11 year old autistic son. Hunter weighs almost 80 lbs., and he is about 4 feet 4 inches tall. He is nonverbal and functions at the level of a 2-3 year old in most respects (other than talking). He has been out of a car seat for quite some time. The reason we need a car seat now is because he is rather aggressive and his after-school caregiver is unwilling to take him on outings anymore due to his behavior. He has grabbed at her from the backseat and she is afraid he is going to cause her to have an accident. So what we want specifically is something that will hold him back against the seat. He does have long arms, so a 5-point harness is a must. I'm considering the Roosevelt (http://www.eztether.com/). He doesn't really need the head support that it offers, but I like the weight range (up to 115 lbs.--so he'll likely be able to use it well into his teenage years). Any other ideas/options out there? I'd like it to be something that can be transferred between cars, since he does have a few different caregivers as well as divorced parents (meaning lots of cars are transporting him!).
