I have two Recaro boosters, and I just realized they are expired. I'm really conscientious about it with harnessed seats, but somehow never thought about it with the boosters--I think because the vehicle belt is doing most of the restraining. One is a Vivo, and I just found the order confirmation for January 2010 . The other one was a model before the Vivo (and after Monterey) and I can't for the life of me remember what it's called, but it would be older than the Vivo. Oops, feel bad about that. We've only been using the Vivo for quite awhile, though. How expired would a 2010 Vivo be? I can't find firm expiration info for the seat.
I'm trying to decide whether to have ds use that one until I get a replacement, or use a backless Harmony we have. He's never ridden in a backless, but he's certainly old enough. He's little for 11, though, at 58 pounds and very short.
It also means I need to pick a booster for my 40lb 7yo who is ready to booster train.
ETA: I finally found what our other booster is by looking through my posting history. It's a Recaro YoungStyle. Unfortunately, I also realized the YoungStyle is the one we've been using, not the Vivo, as the Vivo has an issue with slack in the lap belt and isn't as comfortable to DS. Looks like we're buying a new booster or two this weekend.
