My stepdaughter (7 in August) rides in a high back booster in our cars and her mom's car. She has been carpooling with a friend weekly for gymnastics on her mom's nights. When mom set up the carpool, my husband made sure to check that she would be riding in a booster--she was.
It has been a few months, and I always ask Madeline from time to time what she rides in. Madeline says it is not a booster seat. She said it's a car seat but they put the seatbelt over her. Now, I have no idea what this means--it could be a combination seat that is converted correctly to a booster, but Madeline just thinks it is a car seat because it looks bigger than her Turbobooster. It could be a ff seat that she is sitting in with the seatbelt over her. It could be a combination seat that is correctly converted, but doesn't fit Madeline well.
I am going to find out what it is and get Madeline a seat for carpooling with this family if the seat is not correct.
What age would you allow a backless booster to be used? Should we spend the extra money to get a highback turbobooster or would a no back booster be safe at this age?
