mommycat said:If you are not using the shoulder belt guides for positioning a belt, then I am not sure it matter as much if the guides are just so wrt his shoulders. Also, it looks like he still has some room before they reach the bottom of the belt guides. I wouldn't buy a booster until he was right on the verge, since there is at least a chance he would be fine for the summer. :shrug:
I'm just confused to how the 86-Y is routed... is it through the harness slots or the space between the headrest and the rest of the seat?
I'd probably route them around the bars, running under the red belt guides... and eventually through the belt guides as he gets older... he does still have some room, though.
So to clarify rules of the GN I called Graco and because we are no longer using the 5 pt harness of the GN due to him being too tall, but we are using the 86 Y harness or we could use the lap/ shoulder belt his shoulders don't matter where they are, it falls to the top of his ears need to stay within the top of the head rest. So I think we are good, everyone agree by looking at pics? He seems to have plenty of head room, probably will continue to for some time.
ketchupqueen said:Based on that you have time with the 86-Y but they are wrong on the 3 point belt. So you can continue to use it in this vehicle, but he shouldn't be using it in others once he's above those guides.
ketchupqueen said:Oh, he'll definitely last through the summer in it in this car.
