Is it worth it?

To put my 55lb almost 7yr old back in a harness for our road trip? I could squeeze her into our Apex65, and squeeze my 38lb (almost 42 in) almost 5yr old into a scenera. I don't know if my oldest would be happy about it though. It would be a tight squeeze, and she's been in the Turbo for a little over a year now... Thoughts? She doesn't sleep in the car anymore, so I'm not concerned about that, and she's pretty good about staying put in the booster.

Worth it to who?

What are your concerns about you 6yo in the booster? That is, what issues are you hoping to address in considering moving her for this trip? Safety? Comfort? You mention things you're not concerned about (sleeping, maturity), though you qualify one of those (maturity) with "pretty"- is she not that good about staying put?

A booster seat (high back, preferably) is a safe choice for a 6 year old who remains in position for the entire time the vehicle is on the road.

Its nice to hear that a properly used booster is no safer than a harness... I guess its the over-protective mommy in me. Last time we took the trip we are getting ready to take she was still in a harness. She does very well in the booster.
