Thanks in advance, I don't post here a lot, but I come here all the time for information and catching up on the latest car-seat info.
A (very good) friend asked me to ride with her somewhere the other day. (I have a 3.5 year old and a 23 month old). She told me it was no big deal because my son could use her son's (he is also 3.5) Maestro, and she had an extra seat for her son. (I also installed one of our Marathons rear facing for my younger son).
Well....the "extra seat" to my dismay was a Fisher Price high back booster. It seemed very old to me, but I wanted to make sure I checked the facts here before I made an issue out of it. It was a navy blue color and had lines on it that said MIN and MAX (assiming shoulder height?).
The fit was honestly not that terrible, but his usage was awful at best. I turned around and told him to leave the belt on his shoulder multiple times.
Background info - I had to practically beg her to buy the Maestro for him when he was 2.5 because she was going to buy him a high back booster back then. So regardless of the fact that he normally rides in the Meastro, she told me she uses the HBB as a back up a lot for other kids. I want to let her know if it's expired (and I can only assume that it is).
She is a very good and dear old friend of mine (like since pre-school) so I don't want to hurt her or anything. I just want to find a way to nicely tell her that it's not safe.
