Answer 1

My daughter was gettin a bit squished in the baby carseat so we bought a toddler seat when she was about 2 and 4 months. It's much more comfortable for her and will last for ages, I like that it has the 5 point harness, I reckon you should get one now if you have the cash, no point waiting if she is gonna need it anyway

The booster seats using adult seatbelts have caused too many deaths by internal injury, I wouldn't risk it.

Answer 2

we kept my son in the regular car seat until he was 40 pounds. then we got him a booster-the ones that you just put on the seat and use the regular strap with. i like these boosters better cause they are much easier for moving into other cars.

Answer 3

i wouldn't recommend a booster seat  for a two yr. old i have one myself and i just bought her a regular toddler seat try babies r us/toys r us that goes over 40 lbs.this was my second child so just buy what you need a lot  of car seats are able to grow with the baby. eddie bauer editions are great as well as graco.
