For my daughter's birthday, I am taking her and a friend for mani/pedis and then for ice cream. The ice cream shop is in the same strip mall as the nail place. We were going to walk but weather is going to be terrible. Friend's mother has instructed me NOT to put her daughter in a booster. She is 10yo, about 4'7", and I'm sure she's over 80#. She's definitely legal to be boosterless in my state. I doubt she would pass the 5-step test in my car. However, it is less than a block and we'll be going about 10mph. This isn't worth arguing about, or is it? Or should I just bring a big umbrella and tell them to suck it up and deal because they're getting ice cream?
