<p>I posted something similar to this in the Childhood years and this forum was recommended to me:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My 5.5 yo ds is just over 40 lbs, so he has outgrown the one and only car seat he has had--the Britax Roundabout. He is average height (about 44" or 3'8"). I'm getting stuck with the car seat question. I've googled extensively, but not finding a good overview and don't feel like I'm getting my mind around this. I'd appreciate some recommendations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We could do booster seat or 5 pt harness, and booster would be more convenient, but 5 pt, safer, correct? If that's the choice I'll go for safer. I don't understand why some of them turn into boosters, why not just stay in the 5 pt?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can just one more car seat last us until he no longer needs one? It seems the Radian is good for not taking too much space in a smallish car (we have a Honda CR-V). What about Britax v Radian and the myriad of Britax choices and is there something cheaper that is just as good?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any answers or direction to a good web site would be greatly appreciated.</p>
