I too agree with the Infa Vario Max with a H harness. We had a Safe N Sound Pegasus and it was made of foam. We had to slam our brakes on one night because a car cut in front of us. The seat snapped. The Infa Vario Max is blown plastic which is much stronger. The headrest adjusts so as they get taller, the headrest can move up.
My sister brought the one from Target, I think it's a pegusus. Her's also snapped and she had SOOO many issues getting them to replace it, cos she didn't have the reciept. Eventually she got it done and hasn't had any issues since. That is a bit scary though. I never liked the foam ones personally.
In SA the laws are changing in relation to child restraints, where all children up to the age of 7 must be in an approved child restraint - and going by age (as opposed to height and weight) to ensure each child is in the correct restraint. (However there will be provisions made for larger sized children).
As a result of some findings from the Centre for Automotive and Safety Research there was a need for a larger booster seat -as we all know - the largest booster seat currently available only suits up to 26kg.
Currently there is an Australian Standard being created so booster seats can be made to suit kids up to 36kg. Hence it won't take too long before they hit the market.
But if you need one now - for the safety of your child, get one!
