Just some technical wondering... If anyone cares to offer thoughts.
Do the pros of the enhanced structural integrity of a heavier booster (say the Maxi-Cosi Rodifix) outweigh the cons?
I am trying to determine the crash dynamics of a super light booster vs. one that's heavy. And, assume that neither is latched in but simply buckled properly, like any booster.
As for an EMPTY booster, well yes, latched in would obviously prevent a projectile. But let's say I could have it buckled most of the time BUT couldn't do so briefly driving home after school drop-off.
I know it feels silly to buy the Rodifix when we can't use latch. It's the design of the seat I need though! So, it is what it is.
My only concerns are 1. In a crash having such a heavy booster behind her back unlatched. 2. Not latching it after school carline (none of the seats there are latched, and we've tried various boosters, but all have been really light). I wonder how much the seatbelt buckle threaded through the shoulder part, at least, would help with the projectile issue.
