I'm in Europe.
This mom on the message board has this Chicco 3max seat from her older child [can't find a decent link in English]. She writes the seat is 8 years old. Aaaand the seat is certified for use with seat belt as a booster from 9 kg(!). No word in the manual about for how many years it's usable/when it expires. Manual here. Apparently it's at least possible to lock the seatbelt in the belt guide. Am I crazy for thinking it's not a good idea to put an 11 month old in that??? Can a seatbelt even stay put on a tiny 9 kg baby's shoulder?
How do I convince the mom not to put her 9 kg baby in that seat??? Any linkable studies? I can't even reason that the baby won't sit still, because the belt can be locked in the belt guide.
Added: the law over here says about this much: "a child under 150cm must be in a child seat". Rather unspecific.
