I'm very sad to find out that one of my DD's first grade classmates is out of the booster (seat belt only). This is a child who we really like and would be very sad to see something happen to her. On the other hand, I don't want to alienate the family because this is one of the nicer kids in her class and one of her better school friends.
Would you say something? I don't think they would do it knowing it's illegal. I thought it was illegal for a 6 yo to go without a CRS in MA, but could it be if she's big for her age? It would be a lot easier to bring it up if it's actually illegal, but either way I think they should be told about the recommendations, about boostering until five stepping, that it's the number one killer of kids and why not using a booster is so dangerous (belt over internal organs, ... not sure I know all the details myself because I haven't needed to). The thing is, I'm a shy person who is not good with these sorts of situations and I'm concerned about the outcome. Your help is appreciated!
