        As an avid reader of this newsgroup, I'd like to 
        thank all of you who have given me new insights 
        and ideas on raising my soon-to-be 2-yr-old son.  
 
        I would appreciate some advice on the type(s)
        of carseat(s) I might consider buying for him at
        this stage.  He is nearly 3' tall and though slim
        has outgrown his Peterson carseat (the one that 
        is supposed to take the kid from infant through
        toddler).  Hence I have one of two options;  
        1.  buy him a booster seat
        2.  buy him a larger carseat

        Personally, I would prefer the latter option as I
        like the side, back and front protection he would 
        get with the larger carseat.  However, the kid is
        growing like a weed (he wears a size 8 1/2 shoes)
        and I may have to buy the booster seat in a year's 
        time anyway.

        I'd welcome any suggestions from fellow parents as
        to which option might be better, and  what make
        booster or carseat I should get. However, please 
        send mail and if other readers are interested, I 
        will summarize and post.



        Thanks in advance,

        Jennifer Lee
