Confused about car seats!

DD is 2 and a bit and she weighs 18 kgs as she is very tall (over 100 cms) - thanks to her Daddy who is 6'7! So she is getting to big for her car seat and we will use that seat for bub #2 as you can turn it back around and have it reclined and backwards facing.

So we need to get DD a new seat - I ma confused about booster seats and when you can use them?? Her head is over the back of the seat she has now - so she really needs a bigger seat. They only seats I can see being tall enough for her are booster seats and I dont know if she is to young for one now??

Please help - we have 8 weeks to get a new seat and get the other ready for the new bub - maybe even less!

Can anyone recmend a good toddler seat also??

TIA

i think if she is that tall then yeah go for it, i have a go safe booster i think its called i got it from baby kingdom.. bout 2 yrs ago now.. and i used it early due to my ds height also..
i think its safer to use a booster if she is out growing her seat but you can also get the ones that have the same belts as the baby seat itms?
then one i have has the full belts not a harness and i love it its great its exactly like a seat and its comfy too.. also has the side protectors so if any impact comes his head is cushioned..
im not sure if that brand is the one i have i havent really looke din a while but if your interested i can find out..

Think the booster we have is 14kg plus - Charlotte is in it now as she was also too tall for her old car seat.
I think she would well and truly be in a booster now, some don't come with an H harness, but you can buy them separately or use the lap sash seat belt.

OK cool! Thanks ladies! It gets confusing as one some it specifies ages but on others just weights! I guess the search for a booster now begins!

Darcy went into a Maxirider at 2 for the same reason, but she wasn't heavy enough for just the H harness or seatbelt so we kept the five point harness until she was 20kgs and now she's gone to a plain seatbelt with the antisubmarineing clip, but I think until 4 they need a h harness or 5 point harness?????

lol yeah car seats and boosters suck lol they are tooo confusing ...
have fun booster shopping

Head to your local baby store. Then you can see all the different options etc and have someone help you!

We are looking at buying DD the maxi rider ahr.
