Just wondering what everyone's personal feelings are. I was talking to someone who said she is going to start as soon as her child was 4 and 40 pounds (not full time... he'd still be harnessed most of the time).
That got me thinking because I think Tobias will probably be rearfacing to 4 years and possibly over 40 pounds (we'll likely be buying an XTSL when they get to Canada and if we do we'll have have the 45 limit) and he'll probably still have shell above his head rearfacing at that point.
Is it safe to go from rear facing to booster training? Is it safer to harness and then start booster training at a different time? This is assuming of course a child who "gets it", not a child who can't handle being in a booster. I don't know if that will even be Tobias (I actually think it might not be) but I was just wondering what others thoughts were if we are talking about a neurotypical child who can handle staying in position and is both 4 years and 40 pounds.
If not... when do you start?
TIA!
