A convertible car seat rear faces and then forward faces. A combination seat is forward facing only and then transitions to a belt positioning booster. A 3 in 1 supposedly does all three (rear facing, forward facing, booster) but there are none that do a good job of this. I have yet to see one that's good in the booster mode. Also, car seats expire 6 yrs. after the date of manufacture. Most kids still need a booster after the age of 6. Kids are safest in boosters until at least 4'9" and can pass the 5 Step Test.
Boosters Are For Big Kids
