Need car seat recommendations. Would like 5 point harness car seat for 52' and 65 lb 6 year old.
Thanks ahead of time

We just got our soon-to-be 5 year old a Britax Frontier. I think it harnesses up to 57" and 85 lbs. Mine is only 42" and 32 lbs so it should last us a long time!
I think your options are limited. Britax makes a few w/ 5 point restraint up to 80 lbs and there is the Sunshine Radian80.
I'm still using the Recaro seat for my 6 year old..almost 7..5 point harness built by a race car company. I wish i had gotten the black one..its hard to clean...the black one doesn't get hot in the summer because of the material its made from..had i known i would have bought the black.
Check consumerreports.com. It gives all the car seat ratings and compares prices at different retail locations.
Britax Frontier is the best. Graco Nautilus is a good backup if the Britax is too expensive.
The only one that will be an option is the Britax Frontier85. I would go with the SICT version if you have the space. That's a good seat! Hope it works out for you. I hate seeing 6-year-olds in boosters unless they are truly ready to sit correctly in one. Most are not, in my opinion. Often by 7 or 8...depends on the kid. The Frontier should last you.
Love our Britax Frontier! Like Mommyc said, the Graco Nautilus is a good one as well.
