Ours even has a harness if we want to use it (we have an EvenFlo). <br /><br />Kids all develop at different rates, and since these are such an investment - it's best to get the one that YOU think you'll get the most use out of.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876860243053889114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-6324616156308600122009-08-12T17:45:10.518-04:002009-08-12T17:45:10.518-04:00We have the high-backed boosters for the girls.

They have worked out quite well, although, as has already been mentioned, when they sleep in them, you have to figure out how to keep their heads upright. But, I would have been happier with a sturdier one, possibly the five-point harness system as well.<br /><br />KendraKendra Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987312000889846337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-79703898852955113002009-08-11T21:40:09.645-04:002009-08-11T21:40:09.645-04:00Hands down Sunshine kids Radian. I love it, it is ...Hands down Sunshine kids Radian. I love it, it is slender, folds for air travel(like we do so much of that) but it gets a really solid, tight installation. I have had so many seats it could make your head spin and this is my fave. The new one is being tested to rear face to 40lbs, which is fabulous since the longer rear-facing the better. Noah would probably be upset if you rearfaced him now though! lol<br />But, you can rear-face with this one to 33lbs iirc, and it harnesses to 65lbs.

Now, Tyler's 51 pounds and 46 inches tall. He's a hoss at 4. In retrospect, I wish I had gotten one with the five-point harness. They are simply safer. My neighbor has a five year old who is still in a five-point harness (he's considerably smaller than my giant). He can buckle himself in it even.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14858511221598789469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-10809616593395199502009-08-10T15:44:01.810-04:002009-08-10T15:44:01.810-04:00We brought Cait a high-back booster(http://www.eve...We brought Cait a high-back booster(http://www.evenflo.com/product.aspx?id=109&pfid=41 ) a year or so ago. It has side guards that help to keep her head from bobbing around when she falls asleep. We also brought her one of those neck things that people use on airplanes. The two together work well, not that she sleeps much in the car anymore. She was in a 5 point harness until she reached 40#, which was the limit on our Graco car seat. I can't see Cait putting up with a 5-point harness now but I suppose, if we had left her in one, she'd never know the difference.<br />Cara is in a forward-facing 5-point Graco seat still and will be in that until she outgrows it. Then, we will be getting her a booster, too, I imagine, although, we saw a great 5-point seat that goes up to 50# that we may get for her--saw it at a HTSB demo.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927215566474451712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-4182827399892355362009-08-10T12:15:54.259-04:002009-08-10T12:15:54.259-04:00Thanks Sarah!
That's right, the Sunshine Kids,...Thanks Sarah!<br />That's right, the Sunshine Kids, I just couldn't remember the name. <br />So you did buy a booster? Ok, I'll check out the Britax and the Apex too. I just haven't spent the $ on a new one since he still fits in the old seat, but I think I am going to need to spring for one soon! Thanks a bunch. :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093968853372697053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9902677.post-50681660900735015582009-08-10T08:18:19.224-04:002009-08-10T08:18:19.224-04:00I don't like boosters.

He was just hanging out of ours yesterday, and I kept waking him up so he'd sit upright again...not cool.<br /><br />Here's a good list. http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/Over40.aspx<br /><br />If I had to do it again, I would have bought the Britax. Now I'm thinking about the Apex or Sunshine Kids.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127954206218934557noreply@blogger.com
