Importance of a 5-Point Harness Carseat
edited to add: Just this week we were discussing whether or not to just put Zane in a booster and put Zora in his Wizard (their first generation car seat with the side impact wings, they renamed it when they put out the later lines) instead of getting his old Roundabout that is stored out at my parents place. This really cemented the decision to go ahead and just pull out the roundabout when she outgrows her infant seat. (actually, if we can afford it, getting him the higher weight limit seat and putting her in the Wizard…I like the side impact protection since our car doesn’t have it) Wow. I also noticed that the boy in the video is just a few months younger than Zane. I just can’t imagine the grief they must still be going through.
We use our car and booster seats but boy I wish we could afford britaxes.
oh my heart. Jesse has been in a five part harness until last month and has only now gone to a booster (and he is seven years old), thank goodness for Britax!
That made me cry.
The only problem with the higher weight seats is it really only gives you 8 more pounds using LATCH. After a child hits 48 pounds they need to use the seat installed with a seatbelt. I agree though that those higher weight seats are great and so much safer! Yay Britax! (Oh, and some other less expensive higher weight seats are the Safety 1st Apex and Fisher Price Safe Voyage Deluxe).
