My son wants to see out the window! Thickest booster?

meredithk · Apr 2, 2018

I know that this is going to sound strange, but I'm wondering if anyone knows which of the boosters might boost kids the highest. My son is 8 years old, 50 pounds and pretty dang short. We drive quite a bit and he loves to be able to look out the windows. It was fine in my Odyssey, but we recently sold that and are in the market for a new car. But, the beltlines in so many new cars are high, my son can't see out. We have quite a few boosters but they are all about the same as far as height.

So, before we either tell him to grow more quickly, limit our search to cars with bigger windows/higher seats, I thought, hmmm...maybe he could gain a little more height with a different booster?!

We have a Graco Affix, a Chico Go Fit, and a bumble bum (for travel).

Any help would be so appreciated!

I don't know about the booster that wold boost him the highest, but I have another though. Would he be able to sit in the center of whatever vehicle you buy so he can see out the front?

I have the same question! The windows in our new car are higher up than the old one so my 7 year old's head barely peeks out over the window, while my almost 5 year old's eyes are just below the window in her current HBB. Would love any recommendations for thickest / tallest boosters to give the kids a better view.
