My DD1 is 3 years 3 months, 16kg and quite tall for her age. I was going to move her to a booster seat as DD2 is now 12 months and easily ready to move into forward facing car seat, therefore I was hoping she would move into the Maxi Cosi Priori that my elder daughter currently uses.
However, on advice from the man in Halfords, he said the Maxi Cosi Priori is designed for up to 4 years and we really shouldn't consider a booster seat before this (apparently you don't go on the height/weight of the child but the anatomical development i.e. their muscles and bones that are not mature enough before age 4).
I'm very confused as other friends have moved their younger children into booster seats already. Obviously I aim to use the safest option, but it seems a lot to spend £100+ on an identical car seat for only a few months.
Anyone else have this issue?
