Ok, so my neice (yes my neice is a month older than me) has a 5 yr old with Down Syndrome. He's 37lb and I'm not 100% on his height but I believe he is under 41". She moved him to a Graco Turbo HHB right after Christmas, like a week before his 5th bday.
I feel really bad that he is not in a 5pt still. There really isn't anything stopping her. She says he sits very well in the booster. When I asked her about why he wasn't using his convertible anymore, she said its just easier.
She has him, a very pettite 30 month old who is FF (smaller than my 30mo old) and a baby due in June. They drive a Jetta and an ext. cab Ranger, so I'm thinking she is just worried about 3 across and leg room in the front seat. But I don't feel he is safe.
Does anyone have any information about Down Syndrome kids in car seats? I've tried to tell her about ERF but I think she doesn't care because I wasn't this conservative in my car seat usage with my 7 and 8 yr olds (who are going back into HHB and are super psyched!) Thanks!
