My eyes are starting to fall out from staring at booster seat explanations and statistics and reviews online\u2026 I hope you don\u2019t mind if I take a shortcut and ask for your advice.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our situation: baby Angelina is about ready for a convertible carseat. We already have two Evenflo Titan Vs which we love, but I can\u2019t fathom getting a third, and I\u2019m not sure if we even have room for a third in the backseat of our car (a Toyota Camry). So I\u2019m hoping we can move Bella (turning 4 in May) into a booster. However, she\u2019s small-average for her age, weighing only about 33 lbs. From what I\u2019m seeing, some 5-point harness boosters can accommodate kids her size and then grow with them as they get larger and ready to use the car\u2019s seatbelt.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here are the features of my ideal booster:<\/div>\n
(1) very narrow: this is key since we\u2019re working with the backseat of a Camry with two convertible carseats already in there<\/div>\n
(2) 5-point harness but can eventually become a booster for use with the seatbelt<\/div>\n
(3) performs very well on safety tests, good reputation for safety<\/div>\n
(4) not expensive<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Any suggestions, dear miracle workers?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And then my thoughts wander\u2026 just how many infant seats and convertible seats and booster seats do most large families with kids close in age own these days? My dad was one of six, and I\u2019m pretty sure they all piled into the far-back of a station wagon with no seatbelts while the babies lay on the floor of the car with pacifiers and rattles. What\u2019s a twenty-first century family to do?<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
