Dd is only 5 so I'm not wanting to put her in a lbb bc it is smaller or anything but bc her hbb is defective now and can't be used with the back. I have another hbb but sent dh to check the dom and its expired:( it was one my grandmothers sister gave us that her grandson used. I really don't have 40$ for a booster. Everyone tells me to use it as a lbb but my concern is there's no head support in our backseat just the glass

I would be calling back & tell customer service that you bought their product as a hbb because that is what you wanted your child in so she would be the safest & now because a defect in their product your DD's safety will be compromised. How much does your DD weigh? Is the weight for the hbb is 30 lbs but the weight for the lbb is 40 lbs? Tell them your DD doesn't weigh 40 lbs then maybe they can help you.

IIRC her booster is out of warranty and the company is under no obligation to replace it.

Without headrests, a backless booster is not an acceptable option. I'm glad you were able to get a highbacked booster.

I know they aren't "obligated" to replace it, but sometimes you get lucky & they do
