Hi, I have a 3.5 year old, a 18month old and a 6month old baby. We currently have 2 booster seats and a rearward facing convertible seat squeezed along the back of our Toyota Aurion sedan. The problem is when we turn the baby’s seat forward facing, it no longer fits. Are there slim line carseats &/or booster seats available in Australia? I would prefer to buy new carseats then having to buy a whole new car! I would also prefer to buy models that would take the them from toddler right up to age 7 if possible… Can anyone help?

I have measured the backseat and it is 1.25m.

HI,
Here is my problem. I have a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old. Both still need to be in a booster seat by law. My husband and i want to have a 3rd child, and i am wondering…. HoW Do YOu FiT ThEm AlL iN ThE CaR??????
now, i know that not every 3 child family has a people mover or a 4WD with 5-7 seats…. so, there must be child seat configurations to restrain 3 young ones safely with out the expense of a new car???? any sugestions?

I really want a car seat that just comes out and hooks right on the stroller….so I don’t have to take the baby out of the car seat & put her in another seat, wake her up, etc. But I think the convertible car seat is a good idea so I don’t have to buy a new car seat every few months. They have ones now that are 5 point car seats that go from infant, to toddler, to booster seats. What did you use for your infant/toddler? What would you reccomend? I was thinking of getting the travel system and the convertible seat too.
WI MOM- Wow…..I was asking about what the best stroller and car seats are for infants. Who said anything about not holding my child!? I said I was thinking about the travel system because if I have the baby in a seperate car seat, I will have to unbuckle & move her to another seat which will wake her up etc. If I’m going some where it’s a lot easier to just pick the car seat up and attach it to the stroller without having to disturb my newborn child! Please stay off of the parenting posts because you’re obviously a psycho, judgemental person. All I asked was what the best stroller is…….I will be a good mom!

I swear I saw a couple of these on-line, but I can’t remember exactly what I Googled for and I am now, rather inexplicably, having a hard time finding them. High-back boosters with a five-point belt — these exist, right? Thinking of getting a new seat for a new car, for a 3yo.

Any reviews/comments on these…? How many years of use is it realistic to expect from such a seat?

Booster Seats?
I have two boys aged 8 and 11. The 8 year old is about 3’11 and weighs about 55 lbs and my 11 year old is 4’6" and weighs about 75 lbs… right now we have a couple of hand me down booster seats from my sister. Our car is equipped with old lap belts in the back and they have had some bad press lately.

Does anyone have any suggestions on new car seats?

I am 35 weeks pregnant. I have a 6 year old who has a booster seat for the car, a 4 year old who has a car seat that has a sort of bar thing in front of her when she is buckled, and a 2 year old who has a car seat that buckles in front and between his legs. Soon I will have my fourth baby and of course she will be in a rear facing car seat.

We drive a four door dodge ram. We will need to put one of the children in the middle of the front seat. The truck has both a passenger air bag and a driver air bag and we cannot turn them off. We cannot get a new car.

My question is who will be safest in the middle of the front seat?

(My children are pretty average in size except the 4-year old is a little small)
if you saw where we lived, you would not ask why we have a truck. & this was not a planned pregnancy.

We have a baby on the way and we need to buy a new car seat. Rather than buying a whole new cara seat he’ll only fit into for a little while, we thought we’d get him a booster seat.

He fits the lower end of the weight and height requirements for the booster seats I’ve seen. However, a few booster seats say for ages 4+. My son is nearly 3.

Is he too young for a booster seat?

I have a small sedan. I need to fit three (3) boosters across the back seat. The narrowest one I can find is 16.5" across. Do you know of one that is skinnier?! I can’t find anything helpful online. A new car is out of the question…unless you are offering… Thanks!
Thank you all for your insight.

I think I may be in a bind. I would like them to be easy to transfer from car to car, and from what I can tell the boosters seem to be thinner than the harness seats.

I have an old Britax Star Riser that’s 14" wide, but they don’t make them anymore. And I have the Turbobooster which is 16" wide – and it’s too wide to allow room for a carseat.

I have a 4 year old (45 lbs, and 50") and a 3 year old (35 lbs, and 37") and one on the way. So, really I need to fit two boosters and a carseat into the backseat of a 2006 Lexus IS250 (the website didn’t have any recommendations). I don’t know that’s it’s going to happen!
