age and weight for booster seat

[Ozziehoffy]

Look at one of the convertible seats like a Maxi rider. The h harness is rated up to 18 kgs, but then it becomes the booster and you can add a secondary harness to work with the lap sash belt.

Astrid, where does it state that the harness which is built in only goes up to 18kg? I can't find that... but I don't understand the reason they've done that either, other than for MORE money because you have to buy a new harness!

In the instruction book for the seat and one the side of the Maxi Rider it has stated 18kgs for "Toddler" use. Other brands may vary, but 18kgs seems to be the standard.

I bought the hipod senator for my DD. Rated safety wise the same as a maxi rider, and has an inbuilt 5 point harness till 18kg and then either seatbelt with an anti submarine clip or buy a seperate harness. Only had it a few weeks, but so far so good.
