[QUOTE="slsh, post: 65971, member: 8"] Bigger car seats were my life before we got the wheelchair lift van. [img]:wink:[/img] Boo had a Columbia Car seat for years, though I'm not sure the belts as are would work for a kiddo with Angelman's, but I'm also *positive* there are ways to secure the straps so little hands cannot undo them because it's not an uncommon problem when you're talking bigger kiddos. I think there's also one by the brand name of Gorilla. Both seats come with adjustable/removable supports for the trunk, neck, and thighs. Also, insurance *should* pay for this with- appropriate documentation from MD and possibly PT; falls under durable medical equipment. Weight was never an issue with us, but length was. The Columbia could actually be bolted to the floor of the van/car for heavier kiddos. Another resource would be to google "Exceptional Parents Magazine". I'm sure they have resources on there for car seating for bigger kids. [/QUOTE]
