Di i need to buy a new car seat?

my 2 year old is in one of those cars seats that is meant to last them until they are 4 or 18kgs. my wee boy is 2 and is already 18kgs, he is not fat just solid like a rugby player!!!

does he need to move to the next stage (high back booster seat) and because he is only 2 does he still need the harness or can he just have the car seat belt around him?

Edit to mention: All this assumes you are in Australia... if you are in the UK you will have similar options... possibly more options than Australia seems to have!

If he has outgrown it by weight he *does* need a new seat... but he is not ready for a booster seat by any means. You can see that in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2LFo8vVi04

What you need is a seat with a higher harness limit. I don't know the particulars on seats outside of the US that offer this... in fact from this website: http://isabelle-broadhead.memory-of.com/About.aspx It seems like your options may be limited. They do mention at least one option the "Maxi Rider"... that is what I would look into for your child.

Best of luck!

ETA: Here is a thread about UK options on a carseat board... just in case. :) http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?p=465270

You need to go with a seat that harnesses to a higher weight limit. A 2 year old is NOT ready for a booster seat. Get a Britax marathon or a Graco Nautilis, both harness to 65 pounds.

You have to go by weight, but a booster seat type is not enough. They make big, seated car seats.

A bigger car seat will be built sturdier and won't crack or break under the extra weight and stress, and yes he still should have the harness--what is the little fellow worth to you?? Keep those children as safe as possible.

He needs to stay in a car seat for his safety and by the law.

Go to your local police/sheriff/constable's office and have some one look at it with him in it. Most law enforcement agencies have some one that is certified in child safety. They would be happy to assist you.
