Booster seats

What do you have? Are you happy with it?

I'm not sure what to get. I don't have the option to go down to the shops and check them all out either. It's just looking online and either buying online or waiting until I go to Canberra or something. I live in a country town.

Any help would be awesome.
Thanks heaps.

Are you talking about the booster seats you put on your dining room chair? Or the carseat? :)

We recently (about a month ago) brought DD (2.5) a Safety 1st Vienna Booster. I think its wonderful and so does she :) Very soft and comfortable, cup holders, adjustable head rest etc. We both preffered this over the Maxi Rider carseats.

Easily able to purchase online.

Apparently there's a new one out in the Safety 1st range with head air bags - we are looking at this one mainly because it goes from 8kg up to 26kg i think and has the inbuilt 5 point harness that can be stored away to you the seat belt later on. Anyway it's on the bubs n grubs website if you want to take a look.

We have a Maxi-rider but I'm in the market for a new one.
THe Maxi-rider is OK, but ridiculously priced, not as high in the safety ratings as it used to be and stupidly wide if you have a small car or need three seats across the back.
Freya had a similar thread a while back....see if I can find it.

I got a hipod senator from target. Rated to 26kg. Can do a five point harness and the seat belt later when they get bigger. Rated quite high on the safety aspect to.

This seat is in the catalogue at the moment, reduced to $199 from $350!

Another thing to keep in mind is alot of the booster seats are now rated by age group as well as weight (lady at the babyshop info - new laws). We were looking for a booster seat i think rated from 15kg which DS2 fits into but apparently we could get into trouble putting him in it because of his age.

Thanks so much for all your help.
I was wondering if the Maxi Rider ones were the best cause of the price or not. :dunno:
