Which inexpensive car seat is the best for my 2 ,year old?


american academy of pediatric (aap) recommendations used rear facing car seat safer used forward facing car seat. in fact, american academy of pediatrics (aap) recommends children ride rear facing until @ least 2 years old. age 2 minimum guideline. in fact, national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) says keep 1-3 year olds in rear facing car seat long possible, until seat has been genuinely outgrown: http://www.safercar.gov/parents/rightsea...

how 2 year old weigh? recommend graco size 4 me 70 (also known size 70). goes 40 lbs in rear facing position , has tallest height limits on united states market. once child outgrows rear facing position, seat turned forward facing. has 18" top harness slots , 70 lb forward facing weight limit. realize seat isn't cheapest on market ($212) amazon, last harnessed car seat ever need buy. next step after harnessed car seat booster seat , rather cheap (about little $13.50 $50).

above links: pictures of child in graco size 4 me 70. seat outgrown rear facing when child's head less 1 inch away red plastic piece.

diono radian r120 or rxt model has rear facing weight limit 45 lbs, shell shorter size 4 me 70, meaning has lower height limits while rear facing. radian r120 or rxt model both go 80 lbs in forward facing position.

if done rear facing child, recommend evenflo maestro- has 18" top harness slots , 50 lb forward facing weight limit , costs $80. top slot height important because when child forward facing, harness straps must positioned @ or above child's shoulders. having harness below shoulders on forward facing child dangerous transmits forces of crash child's spinal cord.

evenflo has stopped making maestro , replacing car seat called evenflo secure kid 100- car seat have 18" top slots, sadly forward facing, goes 40 lbs. if cannot find maestro, recommend evenflo securekid 300 or 400 model- has tall top slots of 18" , 65 lb weight limit harness , costs $120.
