My 6-year-old has been pushing to be in a booster lately, though she's only 45 lbs and has room to grow in her Britax Frontier and Graco Nautilus. I showed her this video to explain why the rule in our family is that she needs to stay in a 5-pt-harness for now, but it's not great footage. Can anyone link a better one? This was all I could find.

For those of you extended harnessing, what do you say to children who are fighting you on it? It's getting harder now that she's seeing that most of her peers are in backless boosters, or even nothing at all (we're in CA, the law is 6 yrs *or* 60lbs, so legally she doesn't have to be in anything).
