Re: RECS: 40lbs + Booster Car Seat

We have graco turbo booster. I like it. Its high backed but as DS gets older the back is removable. And it has 2 folding cup holders, but they arent very good IMO because htey are too shallow and the drinks tend to tip!

WE also have the Nautilus, but I dont have it switched to just the booster yet.

DS is 4yo and 49lbs

Same exact thing for us.

Re: RECS: 40lbs + Booster Car Seat

I keep seeing the Graco Nautilus & the Britaxx Frontier coming up.

so I figured I'd ask here & see what people are leaning towards.

My DD turned 4 in March & is only 38lbs....so I have time, but I want to start looking & be ready for when we switch DD2 to her Brittaxx & DD1 to the new booster.

We got DS the Britax Parkway SGL (it has the latch for over 100 lbs) and converts from a HBB to a backless booster. It also has nice cup holders. DS loves his new car seat. Just note that the SGL model is only sold at BBB and online but not at BRU.

I would do a Graco Nautilus now. They harness up to 65 pound (a lot safer) and then turn into a high back booster and eventually a low back booster. Won't have to buy another seat for her.. It has a great cup holder and storage built into the arm rests..

From my understanding....4years old AND 40lbs+. but you can always keep them in your carseats, if they fit into their weight/height limits.
