"Keep your kid in a harness as long as possible!"
On the way home from dropping off my sister at her friend's house this afternoon, I passed an older Outback with 2 kids in the backseat. The younger child, appearing probably around 8 - 9 years of age, was in a car seat - looked like it was possibly a CarGo, maybe the Cosco high-back - and he was so tall that not only his entire head was above the restraint's back, but his shoulders were about to grow over the back as well. He was still in the harness.
He had clearly outgrown the seat by height, had almost definitely weighted out of it as well. This is why I hate it when people say, "Harness your kid FOREVER! It's much safer than boostering!" :thumbsdown:
(Incidentally, on the same drive, I also saw a truck transporting a couch in the bed - with people sitting on it. )
