I need help!

My DD has only just turned 2 this week and is almost 17kg already.  She is also very tall.

We currently have a S n S Guardian and the maximum weight is 18kg.

What other harness type carseats can we use?  I don't really want to put her into a booster as she is far too young for that carry on!!

I am not worried if it is an expensive carseat as I just want her to be safe!

We have anchor bolts etc installed as it is a new car.

But can't seem to find any carseats that will go over 18kg.

We have #2 due in 2 weeks, we have a capsule for them, but we would have had to of bought a new carseat for them anyway, so this way it makes more sense.

Any suggestions Bonnie??
Thanks in advance!

Hiya

You're definitely right to delay a booster for as long as possible (or at least till your DD is four)!

There's more info on harnessing children 18kg++ on this page http://www.childrestraintsafety.com/extended-harnessing.html though I do suggest you read the Britax Bulletin on car seats here: http://www.childrestraintsafety.com/downloads/britaxbulletin.pdf

Other then the information in the above two links, there's not much else I can tell you to be honest. Though, there is a seat coming in to the country some time this year called the Compass True Fit. It rear-faces to 15.9kg but forward-faces to 29.5kg. I've been fortunate enough to have a little play with it and it's really quite  nice and very easy to adjust the harness height. It might be something to look at, depending on how quickly and how heavy your DD gets!

That Britaxbulletin link doesn't work for me?

Sorry about that, it should be working now!
