I have posted about this before but I wanted to get opinions again now that I can get a Maestro for cheap.
My little sister is 4 years, 4 months. She is small. About 33 pounds (in undies) and around 38 inches or so maybe 39?. Right now she rides in a GN as her main seat and a RA50 as a spare seat.
My mom never straps her correctly. He straps are always hanging off her shoulders and twisted. She always wears a big puffy coat. They really just don't care about car seat safety at all. The RA50 is taken in and out constantly so my great grandmother can ride in the car and is never top tethered or installed correctly (unless I do it and then they take it out with in a week). The GN is installed correctly and top tethered.
Originally, I was thinking of getting her the $40 Maestro from Target to replace the RA50 as I think it would be easy to get her in and out of but I worry it would be a waste since they won't use it right. Would it makes more sense just to get her a booster? I worry about getting a turbo booster because I have read they fall apart easy and I would be worried that they would use backless or rig it up some other way and use it. Maybe the harmony highback or amp high back?
Any ideas or suggestions? Maestro or booster or just let them figure it out?
