Just so you all know, this is not for my own kids. My kids are 7, 5 and 1. My 7 year old just outgrew the Nati with a harness and is now boostered in the Nati or a turbobooster. My 5 year old is harnessed in a Nati also. My DD is ERF in a SafeSeat. This question is for a friend. This friend is the wall I bang my head against trying to help her keep her kids safe! She just turned her just one year old FF, because she was fussy RF.
Anyway, this friend's soon to be 4 year old, which is quite a bit bigger than my 5 year old was in my Britax MA, but it is expired now and I told her she will need to find a new seat for her son. Target has their boosters on sale this week, so she went and bought her DS a no back Graco booster. I told her I think he is too young for that, am I right? If she is going to put him a booster I would think a high back would be better. I didn't have a huge amount of facts to back this up, but I gave a few. My biggest one would be that they drive an older van with no side air bags and a high back would help out there. What else should I tell her beside the obvious that her DS still needs to be harnessed.
