That seat says 30lbs because some 4 year olds only weigh that much. Children should be in a harness buckle until 4-7 years of age. My daughter is just like yours. Same clothing size and weight/height! She hates her harness as well but I know she could easily get out of a lap buckle. You could hang onto that seat for a few years but definitely should be in a harness type seat for now.
Forward facing with harness only or lab belt ok too?
Mmmk we are so confused. Went to Target to get a second seat for hubby’s car to make things easier. We already have a 4ever in my car. We switched to forward facing recently due to her bad motion sickness. It has been so much better. She is a big strong girl- 4t clothes, 38” 33 lbs.
We picked out the Chicco 2in1 lap belt booster (it read 30lbs and 38” on the display) but then when I got home to research online it says harness only front seats should be used until 40-65 lbs. Wondering why this lap seat was advertised for 30 lbs and 38”? It is a latch down.
Here is a pic for reference. I might take it back for the Graco tranzitions 3in1 but honestly she
already hates wearing her harness in the 4ever.

The reason why a lot of articles insist on waiting with forward facing is that in case of an accident, kids can have worse spinal injuries / injure easier when forward facing. The reason for that is in the bone development which is tied to age, not size. (Recommended to wait until ages 4-6.)Apart from that, if kid is comfortable and the belts and straps are fitting where they should be, keeping your toddler safely in place, go for it 😊
