Hi,
I live in CA and need to get my daughter some new car seats. I just went to http://www.nhtsa.gov/cps/cssrating/ and am more confused than ever!! Help!
She is 34 months old and 38 ½ inches tall and 34 pounds.
We currently have two Britax Roundabout Advantages, but from what I understand, she will exceed the height limitation on those carseats soon.
I would just put her in a booster, but someone told me in the state of California, you have to have a 5 Pt Harness on your child until she is 4. In my 2004 Volvo XC90, I have an integrated Child Booster seat that I would love to use, but it obviously doesn’t have a 5 pt harness.
I don’t really want to get a Marathon as I feel that my daughter will only be in it for a year or so due to her height. Also, it is going to cost us $500 to get two of them….a lot of money when you have another baby on the way. I don’t want a Husky since I would not be able to fit in the new baby’s carseat very well next to it.
So, I found the Nania Airway online, but can’t find any ratings. Do you know where I could find out more about it?
It sounds great since it is $100 (with shipping), and can accommodate children from 22 to 50 lbs heavy and 29 to 48 inches tall with a 5 point harness. Hopefully the extra 10 inches would get her into the Volvo booster just fine. And perhaps a Graco Turbo Booster for our other car?
Any thoughts?
Many thanks!
Lynn
