I have what is probably a REALLY dumb question... all across this board I've seen over and over people (techs) saying that so long as the belt fits properly and the child can sit in position, a no back booster is just as safe as a high back booster. This article says that children should stay in a high back booster until 4'9". ARE high back boosters safer?
My oldest son turns 9 tomorrow. I've let him ride in a no back booster for a couple years, and actually felt okay about it, since he fit in the seat and seatbelt fine, and DID stay in place. We started looking at high back boosters again recently because he's started trying to play with his baby brother and leaning to the side, but that was even before I saw this article... It was simply because he wasn't sitting right anymore.
