I hope this is the correct forum for this question.
I asked a question separately to keep my very tall 3 yo RF longer, and that got me thinking down the road.
I originally thought I would eventually purchase a Frontier for my girls (because they are both so tall), but then read on various threads about cervical forces with forward facing children in accidents, and Swedish practice of going directly from RF to booster. I also have Clicktights and a Nextfit, which I believe should be fairly long-lasting forward-facing (?).
In addition, my older daughter, although difficult in other situations, is very responsive to car seat safety, making me stop the car if she thinks her harness is too loose (an issue with the Clicktights when the girls have their legs bent). If she stays this way, she would be good about booster training.
What is current thinking on booster use versus harnessing, and are there resources with comparative information available?
Thanks?
