What carseat for a 20kg 3 year old?

[~me~]

so...i guess my question is....is there any carseat that i can use in which i would not need the protecta harness or is this an unaviodable side affect of having a solid boy?

The Hi Pod and the Maxi Rider, pretty sure they were both on the Choice safest list too.

but i have the maxi-rider and he has exceeded the weight limit for using the inbuilt harness.

OMG this is toooooooo confusing!

tell me about it. wait till you try to install a carseat with a harness. absolute nightmare.

just spoke to dh about it and looks like we'll be sticking to the maxi-rider and protecta harness. someone somewhere really needs to try to find a solution to fill in this gap. surely not all kids under 4 years old weigh under 18kgs?
the irony is we can never actually get ds1 to sit down and eat a meal!

if he were my son id use the maxi rider with adult seatbelt and antisubmarine thingy (its tucked down inside the the maxirider, it attaches to where the current buckle is)

ETA someone is also making a seat sutible for older/bigger kids, i have no idea who or when

yeah, i'm just not sure that it's completely safe iykwim? apparantly it's safer to use the harness than just the adult seat belt.

That's what we have with the Hi Pod.
