This kid is 7 and has been in a lbb since she was 5 in my car (didn't know better back then). All of her friends are out of boosters and she begs me to not make her ride in one for play dates. Now the problem is is that she is getting too tall and I don't have movable headrests in the backseat. So back into a hbb she goes once I can afford it. She has told me she can't ride in a hbb before and I know she will be upset.
I know it is my car, my rules, but does anyone have anything I can tell her to make her less embarrassed? She is one of the tallest in her class and no one uses boosters. Our law is ages 4 thru 8 and 4'9".
Does this mean that she needs to stay in a booster thru 8 as in until her 9th birthday? This is for her parents info not mine (she will be boostered as long as possible if she gets a hbb).
On the flip side should I just let her ride without a booster if she passes the 5 step test once she turns 8 and just forget about the hbb? She has a smidge left to grow before being too tall for the headrest in my car.
Thanks for the help and Happy New Year!
