Question about the 86-Y Harness

CRS · Jan 10, 2008

Can you use it with a full back booster? I tried to look on their website but didn't get my question answered. Thanks!

Yes. I've seen pictures here of children in a HBB with the 86Y. I know some posters use the Graco Airbooster, which is relatively tall.

Ahh yes that's what I thought - thanks! Does ezonpro have this in writing?

yes-

Meets FMVSS213 with a booster and your vehicle seatbelt, 40-65 lbs

so it looks like only with a booster through 65 lbs, although it doesn't specifically say HBB. :shrug-shoulders:

I called EZ-On when we first got our 86Ys to clarify the booster requirement.

A booster is REQUIRED when using the 86Y with children 40-65lbs.

A booster is OPTIONAL when using the 86Y with children over 65lbs, though they must still meet any height/weight requirements set by the booster (as in, just because the 86Y goes to 100-some-odd pounds doesn't mean you can use it with a booster that has a 100lb limit).

HBBs are optional, but recommended when the vehicle does not provide adequate head support. Routing the 86Y around the booster's headrest may be problematic with certain types of boosters if the back is too wide. Routing the 86Y over the top of the booster is an option with certain boosters (like the AOE in booster mode).

I've got an album with 86Y pics and my comments here.
