Lurker here. So I finally convinced my friend that her small 32 pound almost 5 year old really needs to be in something other than a LBB. He is unable to maintain proper position a lot of the time and is very squirmy. I have tried to convince her to still harness but that is a no go. With that said what are some good HBB options for a child on the lighter end of the booster spectrum? TIA

I tried to post this from my phone, but for some reason I am unable to see it so sorry if it's a duplicate. I finally convinced my friend that her small 32 pound almost 5 year old who has been riding in a LBB for the past 6 months really isn't ready for the LBB. He is very squirmy and is unable to maintain proper belt position at all times especially when he falls asleep. I have tried to convince her to still harness since is he so small and squirmy, but that is a no go. She is needing HBB recommendations that will fit her son. TIA

Recaro Vivo could be a good option since it tends to fit smaller, thinner kids well and the deep headwings and sidewings are more confining and therefore more restrictive for kids who may have trouble sitting still. Does her vehicle have seatbelts with switchable retractors? If so, locking the seatbelt once he's buckled might help too. Good luck!
