HI Toby!
I've just started looking into booster seats. My son is only 17 months and 26lbs. He sits rather comfortably in his car seat at the moment but gets very frustrated because he can't play with things due to the overhead bar that comes down in front of him. I too, hate that thing and would not buy another one like it again.
So, I'm starting to look into boosters (the 5 point harness convertable kind)so that he can sit comfortably for longer periods of time with the help of being able to play with toys/books in front of him. Any ideas of where I can start, models to check out?
I sure like the idea of the Britax removable back seats, but the Britax models seem so huge! And the seat that I'm going to purchase needs to be FAA approved. One more thing...I just now (due to this board) realized that carseats will now have to use the LATCH. But some of the suppliers aren't making the seats just yet. So, am I better off waiting to make a purchase until the LATCH seats come out? I honestly don't want to wait though, as my little guy seems to be getting more and more restless in the car lately!!! I would love any suggestions that you may have for me!
Thanks a million!
