Hi,
I'm looking for a combo booster or just a 5-pt seat for my son since he is outgrowing is covertible seat by height. He's 2 yrs. old and is 34 lbs. and 37" tall.
If I understand things correctly, it is recommended children under the age of four ride in a booster seat that has a 5 pt. harness and isn't recommended to use belt positioning until after that age.
Well, I looked at the growth charts and if my child continues to grow at his current height/weight percentage, by the time he's three he'll be 40" tall and 38 lbs and by the time he's four he'll be 42" tall and 46 lbs.
Is there any seat/booster that can accommodate this? I know about the Britax Husky and Marathon but they are so pricy. We live in a large city and my son travels in the car about once every few weeks. But, I still want him to be safe when we travel.
Thanks for any help.
