Recommendation for car seat- tall 2 year old.

Thanks Melissa

Mini - DD1 is similar age/height to yours and she is in a Maxi-rider. It is great! We got ours from a place in Keysborough (cant remember what its called!) as it was the best price we could get!
HTH :)

Yep thats the one! We didnt get the AHR (its a bit more expensive) and we paid $270. I think $350 for the AHR isnt a bad price :)

An extra 3 inches is good. Olivia is certainly not taking after me in the height department (I am not quite 5 fot 3...) but DH is just over 6foot so it would be good for that. Am going to go out now and go shopping:) Oh I love shopping...even when its not for me!

Yep, the maxi rider is fab - my youngest is that tall and to sit him in his maxi rider makes him look small again LOL. Also considering the new car seat laws for children, they really need to be in them for a long time now, so by the time she is too tall for that, she will be able to move onto a regular booster with an adult seatbelt anyway.
