Yeah, I get it. My son will be 9 in December, and he's in a Britax Regent. He fits just fine, though I do need to weigh him soon. No way that he's over 65 pounds, though.
He isn't complaining at all. I know he looks forward to the day when he can sit with nothing, but he knows that he's not old enough yet and that it's safer to be where he is. He remembers our rollover accident, and his Marathon kept him safe, along with his sisters (in Marathon and Companion seats).
I suppose I am in the minority, though, huh? Maybe even here? I know he could use a booster, but his Regent hasn't expired (he's had it since the rollover), so he's still in it!
*should clarify: I am hearing this from family/friends. Not my son. His neighbor friend has always marveled that he had a baby car seat, because she has been able to ride in the front seat of their car for years.
