My 10 yr old son is 56 pounds and tall -- but ALL legs! He's still in a hbb -- evenflo AMP in DH's car and Graco Air ride (great for his long legs) in my car. I also bought a Harmony Cruz from Target to begin nbb booster use. I know -- it's a little weird to have a 10 yr old still in a highback -- but he's severely ADHD and has sensory issues and the high back really helps remind him to sit properly. Even at his age, when he's reading I still have to sometimes remind him to sit up and not bend over to read his book.
We were planning on just bringing the nbb with us when we travel to Canada in July. But now DH tell me that instead of staying in Calgary near the airport when we get in at 11:00 at night, he wants to drive another hour-and-a-half to our final destination (family reunion). While I'm fairly confident that we can work with DS to sit properly in a nbb in the daytime -- I am really nervous about having him do that for a late night drive when I'm worried/hoping he'll sleep.
DH wants the nbb for ease of travel. I just want DS to be the safest he can be.
What would you do/advise?
Thanks so much!
