Two people made this comment to me (in a group with others, so not me directly) in the last two days! Somehow they think moving their kids to BPBs means they have "freedom" and the kids can get in and out themselves. One has been using her Nautilus as a BPB for her 4yo (probably just a bit under 40lbs) for awhile now. Didn't understand it since he has plenty of growing room to still harness. The other said how she had just moved her new 3yo and 4.5 year old to BPB boosters and how nice it was. Her kids are tall and the older one is definitely over 40lbs by looks, but a 3yo? Really? Since it was a conversation with others (who didn't comment really), I felt awkward saying anything. If someone asks, I definitely tell them, but hard to tell someone something they are all happy about is a stupid decision on their part.
On the plus side, my SIL was going to sell (well, she says give away) my oldest niece's infant carseat (who will be 11 in a month) at our garage sale that went through all her three kids plus other SIL's three kids (the youngest two being 4&1, you do the math...). I stopped that and she threw it out. I told her to cut the harness, but at least I physically saw it in the trash. I told the other SIL "nicely" how it was expired when she used it for her 4yo (same one who is using the BPB Nautilus) but obviously didn't sink in since she continued using a ten year old seat for her third child. So glad that thing is now trash!
