Car seat dilemma?

sandollar · Oct 10th, 2009, 12:45 PM

I have a 4 and 6 year old and about to have a new baby,I can fit the two high back boosters andbaby seat in back but it is so tight,was thinking of getting a normal booster for my 6 year old to sit in the middle,will this be safe and ok?

Where do you live? I might be able to help recommend exact carseats if you are in the US or Canada. Also what type of car? I really would only put your 6yr old in a high back and your 4 yr old harnessed.

I would think that would be ok for your 6yr old, especially as s/he is in the middle

At the age the reason they have a carseat is so that the seatbelt sits at the right level on there neck

Oviously a high seat would be best but LO will be okay with just a booster

My best friend just had the same dilema but she has had to change her car because hers will be 4, 2 and newborn
