I am looking for a carset for my 2 1/2 year old girl, 28 lbs, avg height for her age. She has been in a Britax Roundabout that is getting very beat-up as it was her brothers. Should I spend the money on another Britax because they are great seats, should I get something that can turn into a booster, if yes, which one? I would like to stay slim if possible, the next car I get may or may not have 3rd row seating so there is a chance of occassionally putting 3 seats across the back (carpooling). We have a wide car and she is in a bucket seat, so anything would fit now, but I am thinking ahead. What do you think is the best answer?

	Booster Seat A booster seat raises your child up so that the car's lap and shoulder belts fit correctly. The lap belt should fall across the upper thighs. The shoulder belt should go across the middle of the shoulder and chest. A booster seat is used for older children up to about 80 pounds. Some states have passed laws requiring booster seats for children up to age 8 or 80 pounds. Check your state's law.
