I've just got Liv a Safe and Sound Maxi Rider AHR. It has a fully convertable harness which can take a baby from 8kg to 26kg. The AHR is "Active Head Restraint" which is for side impact head protection incase of an accident and it is adjustable in height so they can be in the seat for longer. It exceeds safety recommendations. On a side note it's so cute with it's little arm rests and cup holders. Liv loves it and no-one is allowed to put her arm rests up or down except her. She is so protective. Have a shop around darl and research what works for your DD.
There are the foam booster seats available but they have to be over 14kg to use these.
How much are the SS Maxi Rider's? DS is 14 months old and about 11kgs and I wondered what the next seat would be for him. What is the minimum weight requirement? TIA!
Sequoia - Mazi riders ~$300 and Maxi Rider AHR (has adjustable head rest) $350. The 5 point harness needs to be replaced with the Protecta Harness ($50-$70 depending on sales etc) when your child is 18kg. From memory I think there recommended weights 9kg-26kg. Apparently there are new seats coming (or current seats recommendations) upgraded to 36kg to cover new legistation in regards to car seats.
I have just brought my DD her S&S Maxi Rider AHR from Baby Gallery in Clayton and it was $359. It can take weights 8kg to 26kg. It has the full 5 point harness same as her convertible seat and it can be converted to take just a seatbealt when she is older. She loves her new seat.
Theres new laws coming out in November which states that children up to 7 years must be restrained in an appropriate car seat. Have a look at the motoring association website in your state for more info.
Choosing the seat that will last up to 7 years of age might be more cost effective in the end.

That's what I'd recommend
