I have been seeing commercials on tv saying that until your child is 4 feet 9 inches tall or 80 pounds, that he/she must remain in a booster seat. My six y/o son is 3 feet 10 inches, and weighs 48 pounds. I recently switched him from his five point harness, and started using the belt positioning clips on the high back booster seat. Is this okay? Would it be safe to use the "no back" booster? Does the high back booster offer more protection in a crash? What do you suggest on this issue? We live in Florida in case that matters.
The booster is always the safest way to go. It's time to switch from the restraint system to the high back booster. They can lose the high back in another year or two. Then they'll want to get rid of it altogether! I'm dealing with that and my 7 year old. Look at your child while they are sitting in the seat of your car without any booster. They should be sitting flat against the back of the seat, without their butt inching forward. Their knees should be bending with the angle of the front of the seat. The seat belt should be holding them across their hips and shoulder. If this isn't the picture you see, then they aren't ready to give up their booster.
