Video of seat belt vs booster

My friend has put her 5yr old 35lb son in a seat belt. He will not sit correctly in it, the belt doesn't fit correctly, and it scares the crap out of me. She has all sorts of ridiculous excuses and doesn't seem to care that it's illegal. So, I need help finding videos of seat belt vs HBB vs LBB. While I know he really should be harnessed to be safest, I also know her well enough to know she will never do that, so the next best thing is for me to try and convince her to put him back in a HBB. I've given her info regarding how he's safer in a booster, but I think the videos might hit home. If that doesn't do it, I'm out of ideas. I'm so scared that they'll be in an accident and he'll be seriously hurt or killed. :(

I'm bumping this up in hope someone has the videos you need.

Your friend's son is at serious risk of dying. One of the members of this forum has a family member your friend's son's age who is currently paralyzed from the neck down from exactly this scenario, only a few weeks ago.

Here's a ten year old dummy in just the seatbelt.

Thanks! If I could get a booster and high back booster video, I'll have everything I need! I really hope this works to get him back in a booster!

Were you wanting videos showing the difference between high back and no-back boosters? If so, here are some showing how each may perform during a side-impact crash.
