my step son is almost 9 and has an Autism Diagnosis. Im having trouble getting him to use his booster properly..i had originally bought him a FR85 but he insisted on having the harness twisted under the hugs (he would unclip..twist..then reclip) so i gave up and put him in the PWSG...but he wont keep the shoulder belt in the guide..i have put it back a million times..got to my seat, looked over to check..and its out of the guide :rolleyes: he fits fine in the cleck olli back there im pretty sure..but his legs are way too long and he says it hurts..and a foot stool of pillows is not an option per my clean freak ocd husband...is my only option left a RSTV??? he might like that actually...

Have you worked with a therapist on getting him to sit properly?

If he likes the RSTV, and therefore uses it properly, it would surely be cheaper and easier than fighting to get a SN seat or booster with positioning harness covered.

I'd definitely look at a RSTV... it was actually developed with children with autism in mind. They tend to like the weight of it.
