M is 9 and we just took the back off her Monterrey last month. The picture was right before she turned 9.

K is almost 8 and just moved into a hbb 2 weeks ago. She is also using a Monterrey.

My brother is still in a hbb Monterey also. He will be 9 in March. I can get pictures later once I get a chance to get on the computer.

My 10yo uses a HBB everywhere except in our pickup (where she sits in the front seat in a LBB, to keep her further back).

This is both kids about 7mo ago, ages 6 and 9, sleeping:

DS3 has already outgrown the Graco HB. I'm starting to look at the Clek Oober....hubby doesn't know yet. :p Anyone have pic of those? Especially in a '97 Suburban.

My 9.75yo went backless in my main vehicle earlier this year. She still rides in a HBB in the Saturn because there's no headrest in the center and that's where she wants to sit.

Johnathon is 9 and in a Monterey. It is on the top setting though so he will go backless on his 10th bday in Sept. He is almost 4'9" tall now.

My 8.5 year old is in a monterey in one car and an OS parkway in the other. He also sometimes rides in a vivo. I don't have pics of him in any of them, but if I think of it in the next few days, I'll take some.

My nearly 9yo twins are still in HBB -- Parkways and TBs. One of them is kind of small, and they're both fairly short-torsoed so they're not outgrown.

It's red, it's a SICT. My then-6mo (I think that's how old she was there?) models it. My 6yo rides in it and loves it.

My 8 1/2yo rides in a hb Monterey in my truck and a hb Turbo in dh's truck. He'll be riding with the backs on for quite a while yet. He's only just over 4 feet tall and falls asleep in the car all the time so he needs the head wings for head support otherwise he falls over and leans his head on the window.

My 9 and 11yo both ride in HBB in my Sienna. They still fall asleep in the car and practically fold themselves in half if they don't have support. :rolleyes: They both ride in backless boosters in dh's truck because we don't generally take longer drives in it.

The 9yo rides in her Monterey and the 11yo uses a FR85. She likes it a lot, but won't get to use it for very long. Even though she still has growing room in it, I think the headrest is already touching the ceiling of the van. So, if she has a growth spurt, she's going to have to go backless.

Just a note: I was fine with dd going to a backless when we sold her Oobr, but after riding in her backless full time for a little while, she practically begged me to get her another HBB. I happened to get a STEAL on two FR85s, so it worked out for dd.

My DD is 7.5, but she is the size of a 10 year old lol. I took a pic today, but her headrest wasn't where it needed to be (no worries, adjusted it after). She flip flops which HBB she gets in and that one wasn't adjusted. Anyhow, I can share if with you if you like.
