Graco CarGo Convertible goes to 100lbs and is about $90. Hubby has it for his truck. They had good reviews on the BRU website......

I have the Evenflo Triumph. I like it and it is big and comfy and got good ratings.


I read the NYS Safety law and booster seats:

Who should use a booster seat?

The next step of children who have outgrown a forward-facing child safety seat is a booster seat, usually when a child weighs more than 40 pounds or grows more than 40 inches in height.

I am thinking the baby should still be in a car seat at this point.

Car seat, he is way too young for just a booster. The Evenflo Titan is only like $60 and was highest ranked by Consumer Reports.

My parents have a graco comfort flo (I think that is what its called) it wasonly about $80. The salesperson at BRB said it was rated about the same as the evenflo triumph but it is smaller.
