I'm on another forum where someone mentioned re-harnessing a boostered child. The child is 5 and 40-lbs so on the young side but she said he stayed in position. People were getting pretty adamant about 5-point harnesses being safer. I ended up saying "There is actually no data suggesting that if a child stays in position and is of proper weight (about 40 lbs) that they are safer in a five point harness than a booster. But they must stay in position the whole trip, even while sleeping."
I was countered with someone saying they read that harnessing was safer for side impacts and roll overs. Is there any truth to this?
I mentioned that there are no side impact testing or roll over standards in the US. Is there anything else I can share about this?
This is kind of a nice discussion as everyone really has their children's safety primarily in mind. It's not like If I don't convince anyone there child will be less sife.
