DS will be five in January. Is in the top position of his Frontier. I thought I would be ok with him in a boooster full-time at five but now....I am not so sure.
He is getting entirely too smart and we have been having some outbursts in the car when I do turn where he thinks I need to turn. Usually once a week, rarely twice. (He has a dx of ASD/PDDNOS, dx depends on the day and the doctor.)
I have been booster training him since he turned 4. He has never had an outburst in the booster so I am not sure how physical he would get. In the frontier, he slings his feet up and down and hits the side of the seat with his hands and at it worse there is some mild bucking. Could that much movement put a child out of place in a booster with a locked seatbelt?
Now he has been perfect in a booster but except for 5 days in July has never been in a booster full-time or for a trip longer than 30 mins.
I have the chance now to trade either a radian for a Regent or a Frontier for a Nautilus (both from a trusted source) at no cost to me. Really those are my only options at this point: Nautilus or Regent for harnessing. (ETA: this would be a preadvisory regent)
I don't know what to do.
He seems ready and likes his booster alot but these outbursts have me rethinking.
