I was told it was when their eyes were level with the top of the seat that it was time to move to the next stage as well as meeting the weight requirements.

For us that was when our DD2 was not much past 3 (we obviously put too much manure in her bed )

We bought a Graco high backed booster seat that seemed to be well padded and had some cup holders.

have you looked at the Kiddy Discovery Pro - expands widthways and heighways. really easy to fit properly and with extra impact absorbing stuff. Worth looking at...

Infinity Pro by Kiddy came top twice in Wihc this year. It is the group 1 seat. I think they tested in Febrauary and June. See if you can find it. The website is german but has English version .www.kiddy.de
