Carseat for 3-6 year old

sarahgcapecod

Currently we have the Graco Safeseat for my new baby that will last until he is a year old. At that time, my older son who is in a Britax Marathon will be 3 years old.  My plan is to move the baby into the Marathon and buy something different for my older son to last him until he is 6 or so (if that is how it works).  DS is already 35 lbs and 39" tall...so he's large for his age.  What comes after the Britax Marathon?

They Graco Nautilus would be great for your older ds.  I bought it for L (my 3.5yr old)  It is the last carseat you will ever need to buy.  The harness goes up to 65lbs then can be used for a booster and then a backless booster.  L loves it and the girls fight over it. 

Amazon has it cheaper than anywhere I have seen,

**L is about 38lbs, 39 3/4 inch and will be 4 in May.  He is on the tall side for his age as well and he fits great in this seat.

ditto pp.  we bought dd the graco nautilus after her roundabout.  it will be the last carseat she needs -- it can be used as regular carseat with 5 pt harness, high back booster and regular booster.  No need for any other seat!

I want the new Britax, Diplomat I believe.  It's a car seat to 80lbs (maybe 100 but I believe 80) but you can also make it a booster seat.  If you want a 4pt harnass the whole time there is the Britax Regent which was on sale recently at Albee Baby.

We went to the Graco Nautilus too.  DD is about the same size as your DS (~32 lbs and ~39"), and she fits in the seat well.
