Hi Paul,
The LaJoie seat program is the only way to go. Check with them but i think this is the way it works. Once you buy the custom made seat they will supply a larger seat as he grows as many times as necessary up to age 16. I think the current charge is $100 per exchange, plus freight. If you move up to another division that requires another type of seat, you pay only the difference from the Bando seat to the new seat.

The restrictor plate is no big deal. They are supplied by 600 and cost $5-$10? There are a few things you need to know about them. They must be installed in a certian way.
Here is a link to a flyer we made up on the use of restrictor plates:
