It says "Large toddlers and kids who weigh more than 40 lbs. should use a high-back booster seat." And it also mentions how kids in California need to use "these seats" until age 6 or 60 lbs. We are in Illinois, lol. Then it also recommends a booster seat until at least 8 years old or 4 feet 9 inches tall. But nobody even looks at the height. It's just age 8 here. Then legally they leave the seats (most kids that I see, anyway).

Just had to share. I know what they are trying to say about making sure your kid still fits his seat (this was 3 year-old check up).

Oh, and he is 41 inches and 40.5 lbs! Top percentile for both. But still actually has some room in the Radian RF.

Sounds like a rather outdated handout. Ugg, I shudder at the advice they are giving out. Can you order them some free ones from USAA or somewhere to help them better educate their patients on car seat usage?

Maybe you can mention updating the material to help parents who don't know better. Our ped is great. She encourages extended rear facing and harnessing.
