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.

Good luck!

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.
