Question - just want input

Ok, a lady at work is having an issue.

Her son is 3.5 years old and around 35ish pounds.

She has a cheap cosco combination seat with 2 harness slots. His shoulders are now above the top slots.

They have no money for the trade in event.

I have stressed to her that since it is outgrown, it needs to be replaced ASAP!

I am torn. Would you tell her to convert it to booster mode until they get the money for a new seat?

Yes. It will make a poor booster, but at least it is used within mfg guidelines then.

As an unsolicited piece, if I had the means, I'd run to Target and see if I could find a clearance Maestro.

Unfortunately, we are not in that position right now.

I will recommend she switch it over.
