Update: when I said booster I meant the toddler carseat that turns into a booster. I should have been more clear. Thanks for everyone's advice.i don't want anyone to think I'm the kind of mother who would risk my child's life for a cheaper seat.
I wouldn't booster a 3 year old personally. there are lots of seats that would work. you could look at the Evenflo Maestro. It has a taller shell than most and will harness and also makes a good booster for most kids when they are old enough.
I would never put my 27lb child on a booster seat. It will not properly hold a child of that size in even a fender bender. My friend got rear ended and had her 32lb child on a booster, he slipped out of the seatbelt and landed on the floor. Luckly he didn't get hurt but it just shows even getting rearended at 25 MPH can cause a properly buckled in child to get thrown off of a seat.
Nope. He's nowhere near big enough for a booster. Try an Evenflo Maestro. It's a harness to booster seat that fits most kids pretty well and is relatively inexpensive. Your DS would probably fit in a Scenera, but it wouldn't last very long. The Maestro is also really easy to install.
Hey,
i would consider getting a second seat, even if its not the most expensive one on the market. I don't think a booster seat is going to do it for your LO, as he's too small...just whatever you, make sure you follow the instructions on the carseats to the T :)
Good luck :)
