In March we are flying out of state and renting a car. I am trying to figure out which seats I should bring for my kids. DS1 will be fine in a Graco Turbobooster...maybe even without the back just for the trip.
But DS2 is the puzzle. He is 39 lbs, 5 years old. In my car he rides in a harnessed Britax Frontier. In Grandma's car he rides in a Graco Nautilus using the seatbelt. We had to stop using the harness in her car because her arthritis doesn't allow her to work the harness release button...and DS can't do it himself either. But I'm worried that he isn't mature enough for the booster. Two times so far he has unbuckled while the car is moving!
If he does it again he has been told he won't get to ride in Grandma's car again.
My hope is that by March I can just take a 2nd Turbobooster for him (most likely with the back attached). But if he is still showing that he isn't mature enough, is the Nautilus okay to travel with? What about the Frontier? They both just seem SO BULKY and HEAVY for air travel.
Would love some tips or advice. Thanks!
