Question Boosters for older kids

Unregistered · Sep 16, 2017

What are the tallest highest weight limit HBB available. I have an almost 12 and 13 year old who need boosters in our van because there are no headrests on the bench seat. 11 year old is 100 lbs and 4' 11, 13 year old is 125 lbs, 5'1

Have you looked into retrofitting the van to have headrests. I'm not sure of the logistics of having it done, but have seen posters here who have done it, either by finding that headrests can be added, or completely changing out the seats for ones with headrests. It seems like a better long term solution if it is possible for you to do and you plan to keep the van long term.

No cant retrofit the seat its a conversion van and actually turns into a bed. I dont think we will have it for more than another year. I just cant figure out what the tallest boosters are.

Maybe a Recaro booster? Possibly a Parkway. Can the 13 yo sit in front? She may have exceeded all booster weight limits.

If you can get your hands on an original Frontier (the 80lb harness limit ones) they are the tallest option ever I believe. My almost 12yo DD still uses one in our truck. I'm pretty sure the headrest would hit the ceiling before it runs out of height. We're running into issues with the belt guide about to become higher than where the seatbelt comes out of the vehicle. But there's still plenty of growing room available in the booster. I thinks she's almost 5' & about 90lb for comparison.

Other than that I'm not sure. We had a Parkway and had pretty much stopped using the back due to comfort issues. She's grown several inches since it expired so I'm not sure she'd even fit in it still by height.
