CM Club - Child weight and Car Seats/Travel Cots

One of my 1 yr olds is 15kg in weight and I'm wondering about car seat safety before she reaches 4. She's nearly 2 and is currently in a stage 2 MaxiCosi car seat but these are recommended up to 18kg. Usually they go into booster seats from around age 4 but she's clearly going to be over 18kg a long time before reaching that age. Do you know if they are supposed to move seats or if the stage 2 is fine to continue with?

Also, she's heavier than I'm supposed to allow in my travel cot but she's ok for now. She IS getting a bit long for it and her mum mentioned getting a bed for her at home but WWYD in this situation for nap times?

Any advice would be great, thanks

Weight for car seat she might even out and just grow not get too much heavier.

As for travel cot if she jumps about in it then change her or I have been given 1 of these fold away guest beds that I am going to use if I get older 1's that don't want to sleep in the cot.
Or you could get those child size ready beds.
