booster seat

What is the best booster seat, my daughter is 3 and under 40lbs.

We would like to switch her into a booster soon, and obviously get a seat that will last for years.

    Unless your child is outgrowing their convertible its not safe to make that switch until over four.

    with that being said the Britax frontier is a popular choice. We are gong for the secure kid by evenflo

    4 years and 40lbs is the minimum for a booster with the seat belt. If you want a seat that will last years, look into a harnessed booster like the Graco Nautilus (we have it an love it) or a Britax Frontier. These will harness to 65lbs, then convert to a

    I have five kids, and they are all in harnessed car seats. My oldest is seven and will be harnessed for at least another two years.

    For that matter my five year old just went forward facing.  A child is usually not mature enough to go in

    It's fine to put her in a high back booster but whether or not it's smart from a financial/practical stand point depends on your reason for doing it.  If she still fits in her convertible, it isn't expiring and you don't need it for another kid, leav

    At 3 she's not mature enough for a high back booster with just the seatbelt. Four is the bare minimum.

    I'd look into a harness seat that will convert to a booster later. Britax Frontier, Recaro ProSport, Graco Nautilus, and Evenflo SecureKid

    I would NOT put a 3 year old in a booster seat unless it was a 3-in-1 type seat and you were planning on using it in the harness mode. Most recommend waiting until AT LEAST 4 years and 40lbs before putting your child in a belt positioning booster, and

    I would get a harnessed booster like a Nautilus. You have to use the harness till at least 4. The Nautilus converts from a harnessed booster to a high back booster to a backless booster so it can be used until she is out of a seat altogether.
