So I got a notice today regarding DD2's upcoming kindergarten field trip to the pumpkin patch. "October 20th - please send a booster seat today. Do NOT send seats that require anchoring or tethering".
Okay so #1: we're in Canada - land of 40lb minimums on all boosters. Also land of mandatory tethering for harnessed seats.
#2: I'm willing to bet money that at least 1/3 of the kids in the class are under 40lbs. DD is 42lbs and she's a good head taller than every one of her classmates. #3 the parent driver form requires you to state how many seats you have available without an active airbag. No mention of lap/shoulder belts.
I'm one of the parent drivers. DD will be riding harnessed in her Nautilus. I'm also a tech. There is no way I'm putting an under 40lb child in a booster in my vehicle. What am I supposed to do, bring a freakin scale? I see the pick up/drop off line everyday and many of these kids ride in harnessed seats. So I can only imagine how many will be riding in a booster for their first time on this trip, possibly in lap belt only positions.
Thoughts?
