It's been a while since I've been on this site, but a few months back I am "pretty sure" I read "information" on this. DUE TO LOAD or STRAIN ON THE NECK, IT *might be considered* SAFER for bigger kids to ride in a BOOSTER SEAT (HB or LB) with a SHOULDER BELT (of course, as if there would be any other way). Reason why, because when in a 5pt harness (FF) the body of the child is "secured" in the seat by the harness straps, and the child's head would move forward upon impact, possibly putting strain or "load" on the child's next. Whereas, in a booster seat, UPON IMPACT, the child's entire "upper body" moves forward with the shoulder belt.
I hope I've explained this correctly. does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Anyway, could someone please provide more info on this. Maybe give me a link to a previous thread, or ? thank you very much!
