Hi,
I need to buy my 5 year old a booster seat. He's currently in a Britax Wizard convertable seat (with side wings next to his ears...sounds weird, I know). The label says he can stay in this seat until he's 60 pounds but he's tall for his age and it seems kind of small for him. He's not anywhere near 60 pounds.
Anyone know of a comparable booster seat? Price is not an issue.
Thanks!
If price is not an issue, I highly recommend the Britax Regent. I have my 5-1/2 yr old in it and he has PLENTY of room to grow. (I would have gotten the Wizard but my son absolutely hated the "wings" when we tried the seat in the store).
I have a brother who is tall for his age, but very lightweight. In Virginia you have to stay in a car seat until age 8, but we bought a Graco highback booster seat with detachable back. He still fits in it & he just turned 8. I can highly recommend this carseat because it also has held up beautifully.
graco nautilus has a five point harness then converts to a booster with a back and then finally to a backless booster...my 5 year old is big and he fits in it and it has the added protection of the five point harness.

I second this one....even though this thread is like 2 years old now.
^indeed. This class of car seat is enourmous! In some cars it takes up half the back seat. Converts your rear seat from a 3 passenger to a 2 passenger.
and we were very pleased with it. So pleased that we bought one again when our Daughter was ready for a booster. Both our children were on the tall side for their ages and this seat seemed to be perfect for them. It was very comfortable and easy to secure in the car.
