What kind of car seat does my daughter need?

Question

hi my daughter is 3 n half years old i was just wondering as just bought my first car what kind of seat she need odes she just need the booster seat or the one with the back as well

Answer 1

your daughter will need a booster with the back until she is about 5. they she can use the ordinary one

Answer 2

She is NOT old enough for a booster yet, even a high back one.  She still needs to be in a seat with a 5 point harness until she's a minimum of 4.  The 5 point harness seats are the safest by far and a child should be left in them until they hit the weight/height limits.   My daughter is almost 6 and still rides in 1.  We bought the Apex seat which is really reasonably priced (less than some high back boosters) and has a 5 point harness that's good up to 65 pounds.

Answer 5

At 3 she still needs to be in a 5 point harness seat.  The minimum for booster with vehicle seat belt is 4 years AND 40lbs.  There are many options for older children to still be harnessed: Britax Marathon, Decathalon, Boulevard, Regent, Frontier; Evenflo Triumph Advance; Graco Nautilus; Cosco Apex.

Answer 6

you can buy a car seat that has a back but un latches to later be a booster seat. it depends on her height and weight, not exactly her age. Try this link it has several websites to look at about child seat safety.
