Booster training

I bought DD a Turbo w/safety surround today. It seems to fit her well, and she did great on a short drive around the block. What tips to do you have for booster training? Do you lock the seatbelt? Fwiw, she's 5y 3m and 3ft 9in, 47lbs.

We didn't lock the seatbelt (Dodge vehicle with light weight locking latch plates). The main thing was explaining to DD that she couldn't move in a way that made the seatbelt move to a place where it didn't belong. Showing her where the seatbelt needed to stay to protect her was the main thing. And how the seatbelt needed to be routed when buckled (so she could do that if riding with someone else since that's what she'd most likely be riding in if someone else ended up driving her someplace).

Our DD was about the same age when we started using the HBB in our 2nd vehicle, she was mostly in there for short trips (like DH giving her a ride to school or running errands) so it worked great.
