Is there any odd scenarios where you would consider booster-training a 4 year old? Would you pick a specific booster for said child or any would weigh about the same for you?

Yes, in many cases, I would rather see a 4-yr old in a booster that is being properly used over a 5-point harness that is not (or will not) be used correctly.
As long as said 4-yr old is over 40 lbs and is not a complete and total monkey, then boostering, or booster training, is a reasonable option.
If a 5 point harness isn't being properly used, I doubt a booster would be either. :twocents:
I would not trust people who don't use harnessed seats correctly to use boosters correctly, and would not allow my child to ride with them short of a life-and-death emergency.

Instead of all of us 'arguing' about when would be appropriate/inappropriate time to booster a 4 year old.... Do you have a certain scenario that you're considering? Also what weight? That might help get some better suggestions.
