I have to upgrade my son’s car seats because he is too tall for the Britax Roundabout he is in now.  However, finding a 5-point harness seat rated to more than 40lbs/40″ is no small feat.  I found a few though:

• Safeguard Child Seat (65lbs/57”):

• Britax Regent (80lbs/53”):

• Safeguard Go (60lbs/52”):

• Safety 1st Apex 65 (65lbs/52”):

Beware the other seats listed in the “Combination” section of NHTSA’s website.  The forward/rear combo seats only allow the 5-point harness up to 40lbs.  Above that you just use the seat belt, which is less than a perfect solution.
