N rides in a GN in my car, but I'm about at my wits end with all the head slumping. I try not to let it bother me (he doesn't complain) but it really, really does. I just can't see how it could be safe if we get in an accident when his head is already cocked at a weird angle and completely out of the wings. I'm ready to move him out of the seat, but I can't decide if we should just move to a booster (which I already have) or get another 5-point for him.
He's 5y6m and 38-39lbs. He is booster trained and sits great in a booster (old style parkway) and even sleeps great in it with no slumping. The head and torso wings on the parkway cradle him perfectly so he doesn't move out of position even if he falls asleep. I just can't decide if I'm really okay with him in a booster full-time. He seems so small to me. Or am I just blowing this head slump issue out of proportion? Would full-time boostering be appropriate for him? Do you think you would you do it if it were your child?
