Hi! I am looking into a 5 point harness type booster for my nearly 3 year old son. He and his much more petite twin sister are currently in Britax Roundabouts, which we all LOVE. He will be outgrowing his Roundabout soon, in height probably before weight, but we will see - he is about 35 lbs and I am not sure of his height exactly but his head is above the top of the seat, though his shoulders still have a bit to go.
While I don't NEED a replacement tomorrow, we thought it a good idea to go ahead with a 5 point harness booster he would fit in now, as a second seat in our other car or in my parents' vehicle, until he has fully outgrown his Roundabout, at which time it would become his primary seat.
My priorities in a booster seat(in order of importance)are: 1) SAFE 2)Comfortable (I know this is subjective) 3) Easy to operate - easy to move would be a plus 4) Price and Appearance
He is a pretty good car sleeper too, so side head support for easier sleeping is a plus, as well as convenience features like arms that move for easier climbing in.
We have a Plymouth Voyager minivan, and would eventually be using it in there, but first would be in a Dodge Neon (second car) for awhile.
Please give me a few suggestions on car seats to consider and why. Thanks so much!!!
