Belt fit?

How does he look? His butt is all the way back, knees bent at the end of the seat, feet flat on the floor. The lap belt is across his hips, I can't see it possibly sitting any lower unless maybe he was a thicker kid, he's super skinny, but it's not just across his belly, it's lower than that.

He turned 10 in April, is 65lbs so he's really light weight for his age. I'm not sure on his height right now.

On the sides it's on his hip bones, not above, not below either though I don't think because he's so dang skinny. The lap belt fit is very similar to what it is in his booster though...maybe just a tad higher, but not on his belly.

I honestly don't love it. Can't define exactly why, just looks like he has a bit more growing to do for both the lap & shoulder belts.

ETA: looking again, it looks good on the door side. I think the shirt is making it look worse than it really is. Any chance of getting a pic with his shirt tucked in?

ETA2: also, remember the rule of thumb is when he fits better without a booster than with. He might technically 5 step, but I don't see him being at that point yet.
