HELP? I can't decide which 5 pt. harness booster to go with for my 3 year old. Please give your opinions if you have either.

How heavy is your kiddo? How tall? What seat and car do you have? Need just one or two ore more?

He is about 30-32 pounds...I'm guessing. Around 37-38"tall.
He's in a Britax Marathon now but my 6 month old needs to get into the Marathon so I need a new one for my 3 year old.

...or you could just get the baby a new Marathon and let the 3 yo stay in the current Marathon till age 6 ish and it expires and you move to a booster, anyway :) (www.albeebaby.com has them cheap, or the Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe is a nice cheaper option, almost as good and you can toss a Marathon cover on it if you want them to match)

But the Recaro Young Sport is an exceptionally nice harnessed booster with tall top slots that goes to 40 pounds then becomes a super, very side impact protective and comfortable booster (other boosters like the Graco Cargo or Evenflo Generations or Cosco Apex are fine, but not the quality you are quite used to, and not as good as boosters in the long run.
