Car seat with 5 point harness for nearly 4 year old?

Do any exist?

DD is 4 at the end of February and eve though I am comfortable with her going from rear facing in her besafe seat to forward facing, I don't think she's ready for a 'normal' seat belt, she often sleeps in the car & will flop forward, also think the longer she can stay in a 5 point harness the better, so....

Anyone been in a similar situation & can advise?

Thank you

I think the britax evolve 123 will keep them in a harness till 18kgs you then take harness off and use it with a seatbelt.

Or, you could look at the kiddy guardian pro, or other kiddy seats. They use an impact shield rather than a harness up to 18kgs, you then take impact shield off and just use the seatbelt. It gets really good reviews

My DS is still in his RF Britax Two Way Elite and he will be 4 in December (although he isn't especially tall). The issue I have is similar to the OPs. I have to move DS into a different seat as DD now needs the TWE as she is nearly out of her infant carrier. Problem is what do I move DS into! I can't fit 2 x TWEs into our car

onetwothreefourfive is the multi-tech a FF or RF seat? Would you have a link? Thanks

Ah yes I know the one, my chum has the same seat.

We could fit 2 x TWE in the car but they just aren't practical if you are changing drivers. DP is a lot taller than me so we would need to keep adjusting the seat and tethers. Mwahhh.

We just bought an Axi Mini kid as my DDS next seat. It is up to age 6 rearward facing, but is smaller than my Besafe, which it is strapped in next to. I bought mine from Securatot.
