Here is a question from another board
"Ryan is two pounds from being too heavy for his bucket seat, so we need to get him a new carseat soon. I was thinking about moving him into Henry's convertible car seat then getting a booster seat for Henry.
Henry is 2 (3 in december) about 37 pounds and I probaly 37 -38 inches tall. Is a booster seat with a back (that can be removed later) and side head padding, and a five point harness okay for his age, wieght etc? How does a booster seat with everything listed above compare to a good ol convertible seat in terms of safety?
Also, where can I find ratings on booster seats?
I hope this doesn't sound bad, but I am trying to save some $$$ and go up to the booster seat now ( with everything listed above) rather than buy two new seats for Ryan now (two different cars) and then two booster seats for Henry later. We would have a total of at least 7 car seats for just 2 boys!!! But I am not willing to comprimise safety for money"
