Car Seat

I know there are about a million posts on car seats, but......

My daughter is 4 and a half, 40 inches, and 30 pounds. Is she too small for one of the highback booster seats? She has 2 different car seats and one of them is a complete pain, so I want to get her something else for that car, so I was wondering what would be the best route. So, what do you recommend?

Wow, tiny little lady! I think it is different by state, but here, to use the regular seatbelt with a booster, it is 4 and 40 lbs.

If you can afford it, a Radian would be perfect. And she could still rearface if you wanted.

I would go with a Graco Nautilus. It harnesses to 65lbs and can turn into a high back booster, then back less. She is way to tiny to not be harnessed.

She rearfaced until she was 2.5.... I couldn't change her now, without her having a fit because she likes to see where we are going.

Still, a Radian can be a booster seat until she reaches 120 pounds.

Yeah I was wanting her still harnessed, I think she would not wear a seatbelt properly in a booster. And it would ease my mind knowing she was still in a harness.

Oops, I meant she can be harnessed in one until 80 pounds. Then it can be used as a booster until 120 pounds.

Most high-back boosters start at 34 inches. I was just looking at them last week.

Wow, I will look into that.

I would get one with a harness that is high back and can turn into the backless booster.

It wouldn't be worth the $250+ for that seat if you're not going to RF.

Quoting Brookelynn's Mommy:" Wow, I will look into that."

The Britax Frontier 85 harnesses to 85lbs, high back booster to 120lbs and has the highest harness height on the market and is cheaper.

She has a Graco MyRide65 which is her good carseat that she really likes, so I will look at this one too.

This is the website I'm getting DD's from. It's the cheapest I've found them.
