I think I might have to get a new booster for DD.
The seatbelt was touching her neck and I noticed the headrest was about 2 or 3 notches above her shoulders, so I lowered it to right above them. Now the seatbelt fits right, but the headrest seems too low for her head. I think almost half of her head is above the top. If I raise it a notch then it puts the seatbelt out of place, so I'm not sure what to do. Dh would be mad if I got her another one since that would make 3 that I have went through before finding the right one, and I just got two other seats for the boys. He really hates me doing this all the time. Is there a way to make it work? For reference, I have a Maestro next to the booster and the headrests are even. She is 47 inches tall.
Also the manual says that I can't use the booster if the midpoint of her head is above the car headrest and it only about half an inch from being over the back or the seat since there is no headrest. I think at that point I would have to move her to a captains chair, correct?
Also, not related, but where can I get a handbook to study before I take the CPST course? I am hoping to do the course in March, but I just don't study well from the computer. For whatever reason having an actual book to page through is a lot easier for me.
