Did a quick search under "booster" and read some of the threads related to this, but there is one thing that I guess I still don't have the "answer" to, and also a question that popped up as a result of my reading:
1. Assuming my child meets the requirements for sitting in a BPB - weight, age, ability to sit still etc etc - why is a 5-pt harness still safer?
2. I used to use a Graco Turbobooster until I felt shamed into buying a 5-pt harness seat for DD (after she grew out of her Roundabout height-wise). When I used the TB, I used to pull the seatbelt all the way out and then let it retract so it couldn't be extended again (you know what I mean, can't remember the official name for it). But then reading the past threads, this is a no-no (I couldn't find any info on it either for or against in the TB manual). I would have thought this would make it inherently safer as it would mean a child would have less chance of wriggling out of the belt, sliding down in the seat etc, as it is snug across their hips and chest. Can someone shed any light on this?
