Would you rather see a 4.5 yr old in a harnessed seat where they never ever tighten the harness enough to do any good
OR
in a hbb (since you can rely on the seat belt to retract properly)???
Not sure which scenario I'd rather encourage...My friend's 4 yr old will need a new seat when their new baby arrives in March so he'll be 4.5 then. he's a very calm, mild mannered and obedient boy but he's still a kid so my question before helping her pick a seat is which is safer in the long run. she'll have him in the back of a minivan and wants a seat he can buckle himself...which means unless i give him a secret lecture about tightening his harness and he listens, he wont be any tighter than the way his parents buckle him in now.
