Not sure where to put a question like this so here it be
My daughter and I spend hundreds of hours every year in the wilderness, many of them in my truck. We often times find ourselves bouncing around and being thrown all over the cab
When Zaira was about three/four she went on her first offroading trip, and after the trip my first purchase was a much heavier duty car seat. The new unit secured to the tool box easily as well as the seat belt. I choose the model because I liked the way the 5-point harness came together (cam buckle) and the fact that the chest piece was very heavy and well padded. All in all the car seat has served well for a couple of years and has kept Zaira very secure.
Now I face the time frame when she is just to big for the traditional car seat and she needs one of the style that except the shoulder belt. I find these to be very insecure for my style of driving, as well as generally inadequate as far as a sefty restraint goes. I stole my G/F's for a few days and hated it.
So my question is this: Is there a child safety seat that anyone knows of which utelizes a standard 5 point harness, but will also accomodate a six year old for a couple years....... Ideally she can continue to use it off road even after she is using just a booster in city.
