car seat questions
Permalink  
 


A couple of car seat questions:

1) What is the "proper" way to dispose of an expired car seat?  Can we just break it up and put it out with the trash?  Can I recycle any of it?

2) What recommendations do you have for Kyle - 38 lbs, 42.25"  I'm looking for something to put in Dom's car, and since Kyle doesn't ride in there much, probably something less expensive but still reliable/safe.  I'd prefer a 5-pt harness.  We have him in a Britax Marathon in the van where he rides most of the time.

TIA!

Lucas has a booster seat that is a highback and installs like a carseat and uses a five point harness. It also can use just the seatbelt which is how I usually use it because I don't have a car and am usually pulling it in and out of whoevers car we are in.

I believe it is a Costco, was around $50 and I got it at Walmart. I'm looking for a link

this is it. Lucas is over 40lbs so I guess he doesnt need the 5 point harness anymore anyway.

If you still want the 5 pt harness your options are limited as you will need something that is more than 40 lbs since Kyle is nearly at that limit.

How much are you wanting to spend?

How often does he ride with Dom? Would you want to just put him in a high back booster in there?

I have Dominic in the Graco Nautilus and it harnesses to 65 pounds. I got it off Walmart.com for $117 and .97 shipping so it was a really good deal.
