which car seat does your 5 year old use?

[SouthernComforts]

Just wondering as dd is growing out of hers. She is tall for her age but skinny.

I'm a new driver so want more protection than a booster seat.

TIA

[SouthernComforts]

Bump. Anyone still use proper seats at this age?

Jane high back boster, ours it's the isofix one so you don't need to rely on the seat belt to hold it in and it also means it can recline a bit.

Recaro, up to 36 kg which she is years away from.
I think it's the recaro Milano, looks similar.
Lots of people I see don't use proper seats anymore. We used them with our older dc until they were about 8 years old.

I've got a cheap Britax in the garage for taking an extra child. I would never take a 5 yo with just a booster seat.

ps look at the kiddicare website for good prices!

[SouthernComforts]

Thanks. That one in the link looks comfy.

Both dds car seats have been from kiddicare, and her cot. Its brill.

Mines still in the cybex sirona rear facing. However we have brought the cybex Pallas ( I think!) for him to move into soon which had great safety scores and looks comfy

My dd is in the Concord evo lift pro high back booster

[Artandco]

The transformer xt pro is also excellent

Dd is in a jane montecarlo in one car (as is 6y 9m old ds) and a joie trillo in the other. We also have a cybex solution x fix that we can't use anymore because of having to fit 3 seats in and have had a britax kidfix in the past. If I wasn't worried about space I would get Isofix probably, from what I have read the cybex hbb score really well for safety.

[Artandco]

Sorry it's the cybex solution q fix we have brought notthe Pallas

My 5yo just went into the Cybex Solution X2 fix

It had really good reviews. She was in a Britax Two Way Elite until very recently, but she was finding the harness really uncomfortable and almost at the 25k weight limit so we switched her to this. I like it :)

We've got a Kiddy one for my nearly 5yo, they scored well for side impact protection IIRC.

[tallulah]

DD is 7 yo and we have a Britax Kidfix SL SICT in one car, and a Recaro Monza Nova 2 Seat Fix in the other.

Both are Isofix and both have the side impact protection as well.

[crashbangboom]

We use the kidfix. Ds is 6.5

[DillydollyRIP]

Britax kid fix.

Almost snap. My ds is still (just) in the 2 way elite and I was about to buy the Cybex Solution X2 fix, then found there's a newer version being released, the q-fix, which expands out as well as height wise. Kidicare said they'd have them in stock from July. Glad to know you like yours fingers
