Hi Toby,
I wanted to edit my previous message, but couldn't, so here is the update message:
I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 6 month old. My older son is currently in a Britax RA. I will soon want to move my baby out of his infant car seat into the RA. I'm not sure what to purchase for my 2 1/2 yr old. He is 28lbs and 34 inches, so still fits the RA well. My options for a combination booster seem limited by his weight and even more so by the lack of availability of choice in Canada (we live in Toronto).
Questions:
1. Should I consider a second RA and then buy a HHB or backless booster when needed?
2. Should I consider the Britax Marathon (if I can purchase it on-line)? Does this car seat meet Canadian standards?
3. Should I consider a combination booster? I like the reviews on the Evenflo Apollo but have not been able to find it in Toronto. I have heard that Evenflo boosters can be tricky to install. I looked at the Century NextStep DX and MX, but compared to my RA the harness tightener seems really ackward.
Thanks for the time and assistance.
Sandy
