According to the research (not presented) by Transport Canada, you ARE doing the right thing. It is the law here to booster until 40#.
Thank you for your feedback! What about when she is 40 pounds (which may be now because I have not weighed her for a couple months ... avoiding doing so because I want that excuse that she is not 40 pounds )? I guess I just feel like I had gotten the impression on here that I should keep her harnessed and now I am reading things discouraging extended harnessing.
I'm confused, if the new recs are to harness to the limits or until age 8, why are We always telling parents on here that its fine too booster the 5 and up crew if they fit and sit properly.
Yes, I feel your confusion!
I think one thing that makes it confusing is that they put an age or to the limits of the seat. Which for all the folks who buy 40 lb short shelled seats, is going to be much earlier (possibly even under 5) than those who buy seats like the Nautilus and Frontier. So it's OK for a 4 year old who hits 40 lbs and outgrows the small seat, but not OK if you own a seat that is longer lasing.
Yes, very confusing!
