Default Re: About to get a new car

On the topic of car/booster seats... (sorry to hijack your thread Ying!) Can anyone tell me what is the recommended or safest untethered booster for a 6 year old? Our new car will have 5 anchor points so that leaves my oldest without an anchor. I am not happy to have him just on the seat so he must be in a booster and try to have the adult seatbelt fitting him the best it can.

The SNS Pegasus or the one Kim mentioned Marnie would be my suggestions.
Both have the antisubmarine clip for a lap sash belt.
Just check his head height with the seat when buying.

We have the safe n sound pegasus. We use it with a H-harness, but even without, it gets very good reviews.

Accords are great. If you already have a Honda Jazz it won't be too difficult to buy another Honda.
Speaking from experience here lol
We shared a Jazz for 3 years (we both drive), and now DH just bought a 2nd hand Accord Euro for himself.
He probably doesnt realise I will start hijacking 'his' car when baby #2 arrives
