Well, it happened...

I knew it would at some point... DD#1 is 8 (she'll be 9 in March) and has been back in a turbo booster for a couple months now (she stopped using a no back booster a few days after she turned 8...I didn't know any better...). She didn't have any issues with using one again and was actually excited about it. But, I knew it was only a matter of time before one of her classmates noticed and said something about it and sure enough, it happened yesterday. She told me that one of her friends got mad at her and said something about her still riding in a "baby booster seat". I asked her what she said and she said she told her she'd "rather be safe in a booster seat than not safe without one"! I'm SO proud :) She's a very sensitive child and I was afraid she would get upset by it, but nope... And apparently nothing else was said about it after that. She did ask me if we could go to the truck and see if she could pass the 5 step test yet and I said sure. I knew she wouldn't, and sure enough she didn't. She said she liked using a booster seat better anyway because she can fall asleep on the way to grandma's :)

That's awesome!!! :thumbsup: I'm waiting for this day with DD6yrs. She's still in a harnessed seat, most of her classmates are in boosters, or nothing :( Hopefully mine DD will say something like yours did, very cool!

that's awesome! I'd also to encourage her to respond with something about it being better than having the seatbelt digging into her neck and tummy...
