So as I posted in another thread, we bought a Radian at Canadian Tire tonight. The sales guy who came out to our car to accompany the seat has a little boy who is 2 yrs old. He's 35" tall and weighs 41lbs - and rides in a booster. Not harnessed! (I have a way of getting info from people in casual conversations...lol )
I told him his son was supposed to be harnessed until 4yrs old in Canada... his reply was that his son met the minimums of the booster, so they put him in it.
I don't remember my exact words... but I told him that he was brave - that I'd be worried about dd sitting still in a booster and that the risk of injury was just so much higher. I told him that was why my 2.5yo dd was still rf'ing, because it was just so much safer.
Maybe he thought I was a cuck(oo), but oh well... I think he's the idiot - 2 yrs old and in a booster. It's not like he's run out of harness options yet.
