First I guess I should introduce myself. I have been reading on here for a while, but never really posted much. You guys have really good information. I feel like I have learned so much. I have a 5 year old DD harnessed in a Nautilus as well as a couple Turboboosters in other cars and an almost 3 year old in a Nautilus as well (yes, I would love to have him RF, but he outgrew his EF Titan RF when he was 2 years old and at the time I thought that was pretty good, so we bought a Nautilus).
It is sad, though how little people know about car seats and if you don't research or stumble on this website (like me) you won't get much good information. It's hard to blame people for making bad decisions.
That brings me to my question...I noticed on a recent trip that my sil has her 3.5 year old in Costco booster (I'm not sure what kind, but it is a high back). Before this, he was in an Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 harnessed that he was quickly outgrowing. He's probably between 35-40lbs. I was really worried she was going to use it as a booster and I know those make terrible boosters. So I guess this is a step in the right direction. So, a couple questions, how are the Costco boosters? I didn't really see him in it, so I'm not sure how he fits, but do they generally fit little ones pretty well? Also, how dangerous is it for him to be in a booster at this age? I know it's not good, but is it life or death? I really don't want to say anything to sil because she probably will be mad at me and/or think I am crazy, but if it truly is a big deal, I'll do it.
Just looking for some opinions/ suggestions
