Graco Cargo Booster Seat
Any carseat technicians or others experienced with carseats?
We have a 2000 Mazda MPV and two children. My 6-yr-old DD (53 lbs and 49" tall) is in a Graco Turbobooster (using it with the highback) and my 3 1/2-yr-old DS (34 lbs. and 41" tall) is in a Graco CarGo using the 5-pt harness. We never installed tether anchors in the van (I know, I know... bad us!) so I'm thinking of having the dealer install it now for my DS's seat. Also, I saw that the Britax Regent is to be used with children up to 53" tall so would it be a waste to purchase one for my DD when she's 4" away from the limit? Or should I go ahead and leave her in the booster and get a Regent for my DS since he has to get a new 5-pt soon anyway (the CarGo says to stop using 5-pt harness when child reaches 40 lbs and the shoulders are above the upper harness slots...but he is is nowhere near either yet anytime soon)?
I would first check the date on the back of both. they have an expiry date as to when they can no longer be used. I would buy a cheap booster seat with no back for the 6 yr old and if that booster seat isn't expired which the 3 1/2 yr old to that one. by the time the 6 yr old is out of the booster seat you can give it to the younger one. I use booster seats with no backs for my 6 yr olds and they do just a good of a job as the more expensive ones!
