Okay, I hope people won't just think I'm stirring the pot. I've recently found this board, so I'm full of questions. In case you didn't read my other thread I'll recap. I originally bought my 3 1/2 year old a Britax booster because it says that it can be used at three years old an over 30 pounds. I have recently realized that the standard is at least 4 and 40 pounds, so I'm shopping for a new harness seat. Anyway, I have noticed many people state that they have a Regent or a Radian in their car but a Parkway or a Safeguard GO in their husband's car. I've been told NOT to use a booster even on a 4 year old and I've seen several people on here say that they wouldn't use a GO as their primary car seat. So, if it's not good enough for everyday use, then why would you allow your child to ride in it with their husband at night or on the weekends? I mean, wrecks can happen at any time, so if the seat isn't what you want your child riding in then why allow it?
I'm not trying to criticize parenting...it's just that I see people say the GO is not a primary seat. WHY? Why would you let your child ever ride in it if it's not safe enough to use all the time? It's either safe or it's not safe, right?
I'm just trying to sort all this out before I make my purchase. I am going out to look at seats on Thursday and plan to come home and order one that night. I just am trying to figure out everyone's reasoning for their decisions so that maybe it'll help me make mine! =)
Thanks!
