I have a four year old daughter, who I'm guessing weighs about 35 lb?? and is average height but don't have that number handy (she's sleeping ).
I have a two year old son who is almost 36" and weights 29 lb. Right now they are both forward facing in Britax Boulevards. I am now considering moving my son back around after reading the new guidelines.
So, we just bought a new odyssey and I'm looking to buy some new seats for when other kids ride in my car and for my own kids to move into once they reach 65lb. I would like to be able to carpool friends of both kids (similar size and age), so I want seats that I can quickly adjust for diff heights.
I am also hoping to get something that I can quickly install in someone else's car for field trips. I have been leaning towards the safe go something or another that has a soft back and requires a tether. My question about this seat is, am I going to be able to install it in most vehicles that my friends have? There is a trend on these field trips to just throw everyone into a lap belt booster so since I'm going to be insisting on a five point I'd like it to be smaller and quicker/easier for other folks to install.
Finally I should mention that my husband has an extremely large torso and both kids are headed in that direction-especially my son. And finally, finally, I intend to keep my kids in five point until they graduate from high school so that is also a consideration
