    We've just bought an Infa-Secure booster seat. Goes from 14-26kg (or 4-7yrs) and has adjustable height.

    Ooh those infa secure ones look good. So you can just go with the seatbelt once they are 4? You don't need the H harness?

    I'll have to get a new seat for Aricyn before the new bub comes... he's nearly too tall for his maxi rider too.

    Yeah, that's right Mel. Providing the seat belt goes across their body the way it's suppose to. With Nina, it will as she's tall. And as your kids are tall, I can't see that being a problem with you at all.

    We bought a maxirider this time round because with DD1 she was well out of the biggest booster seat on the market by the time she was 4 (eye height). The maxi AHR *is* extendable, just make sure if you are using a regular seat belt that you use the clip that comes with it at the bottom, as it prevents the child from slipping out under the belt (it's called submarining and can cause serious injuires to the chest & throat region). It is worth getting the instruction book out and reading it again to make sure you're still using the seat safely, kwim?

    I overheard a staff member at Babybunting telling someone that the maxi is the last seat you need and will take them up to 7 years, maybe i heard wrong?

    Yep Loula that should be right - I've just got an Amazon child - she's very tall. They should be in a seatbelt with the anti submarining clip and shoulder strap holder once they hit 18kgs according to the website too.
    My MaxiRider isn't the newest model though so will that make a difference?

    It shouldn't make a difference. They were all designed to be used as a booster seat until 7-ish. We have two now and have no plans for ever moving up to anything else. DS1 is 5 now but not big for his age so is still fine using it as a car seat rather than a booster. DS2 might be in it as a booster earlier LOL!
