I was wondering if I could get some advice here? I have a son who will be 6 in 9 days. He is currently in a Britax Regent. I always assumed I would keep him in this until he is 4'9" to keep him as safe as possible.

My question is this. I have 3 boys and the only way all 3 car seats fit is if I keep my youngest rear facing. This is fine, he is 15 months and perfectly fine this way, and I will keep him this way until he is at least 2 years old. My oldest is 65 lbs and 4'3" tall. I just want to make sure at this size he is still best protected in a 5 point harness seat.

Thanks in advance!!

for a typical/normal 6 yo its not known that a harness is safer than a booster. as long as the child sits well in a booster it is perfectly a safe choice. regardless if you keep your child in the regent or boostered i'd keep the youngest Rfing
