My daughter is nearly 3 and weighs about 2.5 stone. Her sister is 1 and needs to move from baby seat to stage 1 seat so thought this would be a good opportunity to move my 3 year old to a stage 2-3 seat (even though she is not the recommended age 4 but she is the right weight and is tall enough for the high backed seats) rather then buying another lot of stage 1 seats.
To me most of the stage 2-3 seats seem to be little more then booster seats with a back and don't seem to me that they would offer much protection in a crash. The sales person in mothercare said at that age children would be expected to hide/protect themselves in the event of a crash and they don't offer that mch protection! This is the only point worrying me about putting my 2.5 year old in a 4 year old seat in case she did not do this. Even at 4 though this seems a bit much to expect. Can anyone suggest one they have and are very happy with? The all seem to be quite cheap and not very sturdy. Seen a Graco Logico Group 2-3 Car Seat on offer in Mothercare - anyone got any thoughts on this? Anyone know what came out well in the which tests? Thanks very much.
Thanks very much.
