When to start booster training?

My daughter is nearly five and 33 pounds. She rides in a Nautilus in the main car and a Marathon (which she hates) in the secondary car. At what point is it appropriate/smart to get her a booster for training? I know 40 lbs is the magic number, but I'd rather have a booster for occasional use before she's 8.

my comfort zone is when they are a good 5lbs above the minimum weight limit for the booster they are in... because if they had a bad tummy bug, they could lose up to about that 5lbs... and you don't want them dropping below the minimum.

I don't see anything wrong with training her... I guess I just wouldn't get rid of her spare harnessed seat until she was a solid 35lbs for a good length of time.

My 5 yr old daughter was 47in and 47lbs at her checkup in September. We're going to start booster training her once all this snow is done with.
