| Ours are a bit different but I'm thinking the ones to 12 are the ones you can use with the seatbelt too right? Those to use are harnessed boosters or 3 in 1. Those usually aren't recommended here because most, with the exception of 2, make a really lousy booster.
Hayden is currently in a convertible which is a rear and forward facing one that goes from birth to 35lbs rear facing then to 65lbs forward but with the height on it would probably get him to 5-6 forward facing and 3-4 rear | | | | Status: Online

| I would suggest the one up to 4 years. When they are toddlers they should be using a 5 point harness whether they are rear or forward facing.
Depending on how big your child is, booster seats are the next step. | | | | Status: Offline

| i have the britax evolva 123 and is suitable from 9 months to 12 years. It reclines and has a 5 point harness for up to the age of 4 then converts to a high backed booster which is used with the seatbelt then the back detaches and becomes a normal booster. It was the same price as the ones that only go up to 4 years. | | | | Status: Offline
