Carseats / Booster

I see that these new car seats have more head protection these days compared to the one my 3.5 DD is in now from 2010 (Bought for my shower). I am looking for a booster with the 5 point harness since I don't think she is ready for a regular booster using the seat belt. Any Recommendations?

Thanks!

You're absolutely correct, she is not ready for a belt positioning booster at 3.5. She should remain in a harness as long as possible, at least 5 or 6 yo. I began booster trained my oldest at 5.5 because she was beginning school and in case of an emergency she may ride in one in a friend's car etc but she is still harnessed at 6.5.

Here's my picks for Combination seats (harnessed seats which become belt positioning boosters)

Graco Nautilus/Argos
Britax Frontier/Pioneer
Harmony Defender
Evenflo Securekid.

we have the Britax Pionner or Frotier can't remember which but they are very similar for my dd who will be 4 next month. It's great. Easy to install, comfy and big she won't outgrow it. She's been in it for about 6 months
