I need help explaining why it isn't safe to put a child in a backless booster without a vehicle headrest/support to the tops of the ears. The vehicle in question in a 1997 Ford Escort wagon. We were talking about our 7 year old, but I'd also like to be able to explain why it isn't safe even for adults. I tried to explain about the potential neck injuries, but he didn't believe me. Sigh.
Also, is it possible to add headrests to the rear seating positions? I looked all over the internet for hours, but I couldn't find a definite answer.
I wanted to smack DH! He rolled his eyes and said if I said no way he wouldn't do it, but he thought it was stupid and would do it if I hadn't said no. He said that manufacturers only put that restriction on backless boosters to get people to buy another seat.
I won't even get into the discussion about keeping kids in boosters past age 8if they don't fit the vehicle seat belt properly without one...
