What car seat do you use for your 4 year old?

Alexander is growing out of his infant seat and Kiera is just about grown out of her seat (she's at 39.5 inches and her seat goes to 40 inches). So we are putting him in her seat-rear facing of course and we are buying her a new seat. I know she can go to a booster seat with a back but I'm just wondering what people are using? And does it connect to the latch system or is it just held in by the seat belt now?

TIA!!!

I still have my kids in a 5 point harness. I have Britax Marathon for my 5 yr old and the Roundabouts for my3 yr old and my little guy who is 18 months.(who really isn't so little)

My 4-year old is still in his Britax Marathon, but I have already purchased the Graco TurboBooster Safeseat for him. I am just waiting until we get our new car to break it out. For now he is fine and comfy in his Marathon.

When Lukie was born we gave him Emmas Marathon and she moved into a Britax Monarch in my car and a Graco booster in my moms car.

I did the same for DD#1 at the age of 4.

Re: What car seat do you use for your 4 year old?

Thank you everyone for your responses. I am so confused as to if I should go to a booster seat or just get a bigger seat with the 5 point restraint. I wish the law and the academy of pediatrics were in agreement here.
