Princess backless boosters

T went to a bday party today and I dropped her off with her backless youth booster. The mom said she had one just like it already in the car and I asked her if she was sure and made sure she wasn't bumping any of the other kids to put T in one (the only kid under 8 so the only one legally required to use one but her 9 and 11 yr olds do normally). Well T came home and I asked her where in the van she sat and she said way back behind the mom once and middle on the other side once. Then I asked her what color her seat was and she said "it had princesses with crowns, way cuter than our seats!"

I was kinda uncomfortable leaving her but I'm not the parent so it's really hard for me to push back with out being like "i'm a car seat tech and I bet every kid in that van needs a booster"

But really do you know if this is a real seat? any ideas what it was? Princess turbo?

Guess I'm just irritated that she lied about it being the "exact same seat" then. I know most people don't see the difference and she does have good fit in turbos (like 90% of the booster population). Ok, dropping it right now.

I wouldn't expect a non-carseat geek friend to not mean the same type of seat with that kind of comment :shrug-shoulders:

She probably just meant that she also has a backless booster. Walmart currently sells a pink Disney princess backless turbo.

To the average joe, a harness is a harness and a booster is a booster. Heck, some techs don't have a clue what different seats are off the bat. I'm called over to id seats at checks for other senior checkers or I get texts middle of the day from the CPSE office to help id. They've got pictoral guides, but they don't always use them. I would not be upset. She sat in a booster. The mom cares enough to have one in her vehicle with kids over the legal minimum to be out of one.

I guess I kinda thought she was a bit car seat dorky since her 11 yo is still in a booster...but its all a learning experience. That's why I come here to see if I'm crazy or not!

Also...my bf takes photos of every back seat he checks to make me Id the seats. I got one from someone else at his station the other day too.-
