My DN(iece) is six years old, almost seven, and is approximately the size of a 3/4 year old. At home she regularly rides in a HBB (turbo booster), and given her age I see no issue with this. But in her grandparent's car she rides in an (EXPIRED!!!) NB Graco Turbo booster. When she travels she also rides in a NBB. The booster has all the screws and such, but since she is so small I wonder if a backless booster is safe for her? Thoughts?

If she's over 40 pounds and has the skeleton of a nearly seven year old, no problem. She'd just need a non expired one.

The TurboBooster is rated for 30-100 lb in HBB mode and 40-100 lbs in NBB mode. I'd say a TurboBooster in NBB mode is an acceptable choice if she's over 40 lbs, but it shouldn't be expired. If she needs a new seat that's rated lower than 40 lbs, the Harmony Youth is 30-100 lbs and is only about $12 at Walmart.

If she's that teeny id personally want her in a HBB. My ds just graduated to a NBB not to long ago he is 8yrs old, 4'8" and 95-100lbs.
