Is she ready?

DD1 (12y4m) recently had a growth spurt, so we tried her in the van without her booster. I think she might actually 5 step? :eek: Feet flat on floor. Back and bum all the way back. I think the shoulder and lap belt fit look good? I don't know, she's my first!

My computer isn't in the mood to let me click on the pictures and see them larger, but from what I can see, looks good.

My oldest started 5-stepping just over a year ago, I was so not ready and still stress about it. She was almost 11, I'd expected her to need a booster until closer to 12. I'm coming around to it. My just turned 9 year old is way too close to 5 stepping for my taste, but I'm just going to hope she stays at almost until she reaches and age when I will feel more comfortable...only have a couple inches and it just depends on where she grows them. I so feel your worry.

She does appear to have good fit, just wait until someone who can see it bigger agrees to be certain. I don't want to leave you astray due to the pic being too small for me to be certain.

Hugs to you, they grow up too fast!

Looks good to me! But you'll want to remind her not to lean toward the center of the car like she appears to be doing in the pic where you can see her shoulder. The belt can easily be off her shoulder like that.

Thank you! Yes, she is so narrow, we have to always remind her to slide toward the door/window side. (and she has a brother who rides right behind her who is diligent to make sure she is always sitting properly!)
