If you had to choose, would you go booster or harness? Say child just turned 5 and is 41 lbs., and can sit properly in any seat and does not sleep in them.
I am simply curious. I have the said child (middle seat, middle of 2011 Odyssey) so it's a very protected position. She is in a FF Radian, seatbelt install.
To say older studies found no difference between booster and harness doesn't really help me. I'm not convinced. There will be different stresses on different parts of the body, and the type of crash will apply. I keep worrying that in a head-on her neck load would be too great. But then again, in a side-impact, she'd be better off.
Few boosters fit in this spot. Cybex X-Fix seems to and we have that in blue. If the Kiddieworld booster does, I'd be willing to use that, too (comes in a cooler girl color). I was going to wait until she's 6, and probably still will. So there is nothing out there to indicate I should worry about neckload beyond mere speculation about Dale Earnhardt?
Thanks!
