I asked about boosters for my 7 & 9.5 yr olds a few days ago and a couple of people recommended trying the Airbooster. We made a trek to BRU today and although my older DS liked it and it did seem to fit him well, I was really concerned with how it fit my 7 yr old. He's not an overly big kid (50lbs and 48"), but certainly well above the minimum size to use it.
When he had his bottom all the way back in the seat, his feet stuck straight out like they would if he were trying to sit in the car w/o a booster. He had to slump way forward to sit comfortably. The seatbelt on the test bench was screwed up and I really didn't want to head out to the parking lot with 4 kids in 95 degree heat so I can't be certain of how the seatbelt would fit, but common sense seems to tell me that armrests or no, that could be a bad thing. As far as I could tell, it's not adjustable at all.
Anyone have a comment?
Oh and BTW I stuck my girls in the Triumph Advance while we were there.....it's *really* nice! My 4 yr old looked like she could have headroom to rearface heightwise, and she's over the top of her MA. She's probably right at 35lbs though.
