Hi,
I have a 43 inch, 38 pound 5.5 year old daughter. In our car, she's in a FF Britax Frontier 85 using the 5-pt harness (Marathon for grandparent's car).
We're flying soon (cares harness on plane) and I'm loathe to bring the carseat with us (airline broke it last time we traveled - a huge pain and expense for dad to run out and buy new carseat while we wait at the airport).
We'll be driving about a 1/2 hour from airport to friend's house, small trips of 1 or 2 miles to a restaurant, library, whatever during the trip, and then back to the airport.
Would any of you use a backless booster (which she's technically too light for) in this situation? I'd be happy to buy one for the trip (and risk having that lost/damaged rather than our main carseat), but I don't have a good sense of what difference those 2 pounds make.
Advice?
Thanks so much!
