Carseat question

pinchu

I need to move my DS to a convertible car seat. Should I give him DD's convertible seat and buy her something bigger? She's 31 pounds and I think the weight limit is 40. Or I could just buy another convertible seat. What do you think?

We bought DD a new booster with a five point harness and then gave DS the old convertible.

I would get your DD something like the  Graco Nautilus, Britax Frontier 85 or Recaro ProSport, and pass your convertible on to your LO.

Yup, that's what I would do. As far as the ones I've seen, boosters seem to run cheaper than convertibles.

Now, if your DD's carseat has flowers and butterflies on it... I'd reconsider.

Regular boosters are cheaper. However, the OP needs a harnessed booster, and those are not cheaper than convertibles. 

You shouldn't move to a regular booster until a child is 4 years AND 40lbs at a minimum.
