car seats? what to do?

[Catastrophic]

There are the seats now that go from Toddler to childhood, look for one of those
Chairs for your DS. He would still need to be in a 5poont harness so those seats would be the best. Hopefully someone else can tell you the name.


Love MN ;-)

The toddler seats are from 12kgs I think. Like the Maxirider or it's equivalent from Target/BigW. They still have a 5point harness for littler kids but can convert to a booster for older ones. Hit her up for a Maxi Rider AHR.

how much does your ds weigh?
could he go into a maxi-rider?

Maxirider goes from 8kg to 26kg.

With the new laws & needing to keep children in seats longer I would opt to buy one that goes right through. There are some out there now that do just that...then you don't have to get another one again later on. We got a maxi rider for DS1, fairly expensive & due to him growing very quick & being very stocky at age four we've had to buy yet another seat. Otherwise why don't you just hire a baby capsule for the first few months, then re-think what you want to do.

how much does your DS weigh?
I thought capsule's only went to 9-12kgs
convertible car seats go from birth to 18kg
and boosters from 8kg to 26kg ish ( i have heard there is a 32kg one available)

my 4yr old is still in a convertible car seat and my 5yr old is in a maxi rider booster

[Mum2Romone]

he weighs about 12kg
Hes not 3 yet, and most toddler seat say from 4 years

The one Im looking at is a convertible...capsule to 18kg, this is what DS has too...

How old are they before they get to this weight (18kg?) i know i was 32kg at 12 yrs old.... lol

sooo a booster could be an option then? I will have a look tomorrow. My only close options are Big W and target ....

DS1 (nearly 3) is in a Maxrider AHR its 8 - 26kg. Great seat no issues.

DS2 is in Meridian that is birth to 18kg.
