Car seat question.

[ClareC]

My son is in the first stage Maxi Cosi cabrio fix, my daughter in the maxi cosi pearl (9 mths to 4 years)

I need to move my son to the next stage soon and would ideally like to put him in my daughters seat and move her into a larger chair (from what I understand the ones to age 4 don't actually last that long)

Is this possible or is she too young?

Trying to avoid having 2 of the same size seat if possible!

How old/heavy/tall is she?

My twins stayed in stage 2 Till 3.5

The Kiddy brand ia great and they have a model that is stage 2 up to age 12. We love ours and they get great safety ratings.

Thankyou, daughter is 26 months. She is @ 14.5 kg and quite tall.

Not sure of height but know she is @ 75th percentile plus

We have the kiddy guardian pro for eldest (had same dilemma as you can imagine) - apparently lasts till they are 12? It did take some hard sell on my part as he wasn't convinced about the impact cushion (OH look - a little table for you in a big boy car seat...WOW...etc). Apart from anything else I feel it's so much safer as he was slipping his arms out of the 5 point harness. Come and have a look...

Yes that is the one we have too. I think they can stop using the guard thing at 16kg but my 3.5 year old is still happy to use it and never resisted it.

Thank you :)

Ordered one today!

I checked the which reports and it comes out really well, amazing for such a long lasting car seat, great tip, I had never heard of them before.

does it strip back to being more of a booster seat type thing as they get older?
