DD is almost 6 years old and 45-50 lbs. She currently rides in a tethered FR 85 in my suburban that she will fit in harnessed forever. This child still fits in a BLVD 70 to give you an idea of torso height.
She's been asking to booster. Would you consider it even though you have a perfectly good seat that will harness her forever? If I go by NHTSA's recs I leave her harnessed until she outgrows it, but she could be 12 by then. She'll be harnessed for our trip this summer, but I'm considering letting her be boostered after that.
I think she'll sit ok. She already rides in a booster every other week at her dads. Of course I can't know how she rides in a booster, but I'd be watching her in my car and I could reharness if I needed to. I did try a booster about a year ago with her and she couldn't sit still, but it's been a long time that she's ridden in one with me other than for short trips.
What say you CS.O?
