I just found out this morning that my son's car seat has JUST expired. He is 7 years old and will be turning 8 in September. He was in a Graco My Ride 65. He is 48 inches and the maximum height for his car seat is 50 inches. He is about 43 lbs. I have never been quite sure of when to go to a booster. I figured as long as he fit in a car seat we would do that. How much longer would he be better off in a car seat? What car seats are made for taller/older children? If we go the booster route, should we do the one with 5 pt harness? Is there a difference between the boosters with harnesses and actual car seats? I'm in no rush to get him in a booster, but as his age and size I just wasn't sure if it was super necessary to be in a car seat over a booster. Thanks!
