Booster use in Toyota Highlander commercials

Snotty kid (and a bit of sloppy shoulder belt placement) aside, big props to them. The kid has to be at least 8. :thumbsup:

The first time I saw it I thought maybe it was an integrated one like Volvo's, but I'm pretty sure it's a Clek backless.

It's at 0:30 in the first one and 0:39 in the second.

Clek Oto. Not sold in the US. I don't think it's still for sale in Canada. No armrests. http://www.productwiki.com/clek-oto-child-booster-seats/

Pretty cool!

strange the stuff you can find on the internet -

The campaign includes three lighthearted, comedic TV spots, starting with “Rolling Up” premiering on October 25. The commercials feature Nathan James, an eight-year-old boy on a mission to “un-dork” his parents. A purveyor of cool, Nathan uses the 2011 Highlander to demonstrate how not to be lame. He has tips and tricks for dealing with not-so-hip parents which he shares in the additional “Kid Cave” and “Scatter” commercials

He's supposedly 8, so legal to ride in just a seatbelt in at least 47 states (IIRC, TN and WY are age 9 and WA is 4'9"). :thumbsup:

Wonder if he was using that Oto in his old Caravan sans shoulder belt and head restraint?

He may be legal in WA. It's 8 or 4'9" here, though the seatbelt law states the seatbelt must fit appropriately. So basically the law here is booster until the seatbelt fits.

Definitely awesome for Toyota, though.

Has anyone seen the Highlander commercial with the 4 year old? It's a different family and they're driving by an amusement park.

The kids is forward facing in a MyRide. It looks incredibly reclined, but that doesn't mean it's improperly installed - just the nature of that seat. The harness looks good, though.
