ARGH!
My dad just came by to pick up the kids. He didn't have the booster seat for my youngest (9 but very small for her age.) They have two, but he'd left them both in the garage. He tried to talk me into letting her go without "just for the ride to our house, it's only five minutes, I'll use the booster when I bring her back."
So I checked her fit, because it's the back seat of a truck and they are sometimes a surprisingly good fit even for very small children. NO freaking way - the lap belt wasn't anywhere near her hips. I told my dad I didn't waste my time making sure she was safe for every other ride just to have her die from seatbelt syndrome "just this once" and ran to get Fighter's Recaro Start. Which is just *so much fun* to install, what with the required top tether and threading the seat belt through the locking guide.
Because the other two boosters I have were with dh, in his car, at church.
So now I'm going to have to pick up a Turbo next time I'm at WM. Because obviously three boosters and a Husky aren't enough. :hitselfonhead:
