CAR SEAT REC

My son

Just turned 4

43 1/2 inches tall

55 pounds

He is still in his Britax Marathon. But I'm sure I need to upgrade him

Looking for suggestion.
Thanks

Re: CAR SEAT REC

he should still be fine in that seat the marathon goes up to I think 65 or 70lbs but if you did want to upgrade him I got the Britax Frontier one. easy to install. still a 5 point harness and then you can convert later on to a high back booster seat

CAR SEAT REC

Are the harness straps coming from above his shoulders? If not, you need a new seat asap. That seat is outgrown when a child reaches 65 pounds, 49 inches or when the harness straps are coming from below their shoulders when foward facing. Whichever comes FIRST

Typically the next step would be a "combination" seat which many call a harnessed booster. Done seats to look at would be-

Evenflo Transitions
Graco Tranzitions (not confusing at all right Chat Icon )
Graco Argos
Graco Nautilus
Britax Frontier
Britax Pioneer
