Car seat shopping

[freezorburn]

My brother is taking over shuttling DS on Tuesday afternoons and I want to buy a car seat for his car. Maybe something that will convert to a booster later on.

DS is 42" tall and weighs 34 lbs.

What are some seats I should be looking at? Asking here because the CSFTL people scare me.

I assume he is FF? Graco wayz/transitionz is often recommended.

We have C in a Harmony Defender 360 that I really like. It is really lightweight and converts from 5 pt harness to belt positioning booster to backless booster. It is really slim and has a great cup holder that folds out of the way so it even works in our 3 across situation. It also has a no rethread harness. It has been an easy install in most vehicles I've tried.

We have 3 graco nautilus and like them. Have one transitions and it's good for travel and light but not as comfy for an every day seat. Cheap tho.

We have a graco milestone that's nice. It converts to a high back booster.

Yeah he stopped RF last year. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! It's nice to have some good places to start.

Oh, if you want something really easy to install I highly recommend one of the britax clicktight seats. I think the frontier is the FF/booster combo. We have the advocate right now and I love it.

This sounds like a great option for MH's truck once we get the tethers retro fitted.
