Today I asked my DS (6yo, 63lbs, 49in tall) whether he preferred to be in the harness car seat or the booster seat more. He rides in a Regent in our primary car, a turbobooster in our secondary car, and in the Monterey in the nanny car.
He said that he likes both of them the same. I probed more to try to figure out why he liked them both. He likes how the harness car seat has the pockets for his things, how the seat feels (it's a soft, plush material), and that it's comfortable to sleep in. He likes the booster seat because it has the cupholders and it is also comfortable. He couldn't decide which of our booster seats he likes better though.
It was interesting to me that he didn't mention anything about one being easier to fasten. I also thought he might not like having the harness on his crotch area, but he didn't mention that either.
I'm curious about what other older children say about their preference for boosters or harness seats when they are riding in both types of seats.
