We've done everything "right" according to the wisdom of car seat technicians throughout the years, but now my son is nearing on 11 years old and off to middle school and we are having a major battle with the HBB. He is a small guy, 54" and 53 lbs, and the booster he has is high backed until 57". Growing at about 2 inches a year he might not get out of a HBB by height until 8th grade. He's on a tear about going to middle school (where there are other parent car rides to cross country meets, thus riding with friends) with an HBB. He's willing to have the booster, but wants the back off. We've always had them max out their height/weight limits before moving on to a new seat, but if he doesn't sleep in the car, sits fine (because he's 11) and safely, can we move to a backless? His friends are all much taller than him, and obviously don't use any seats at all since our state only has requirements until 4'9". When did you allow your kids to go backless? It seems a reasonable request as he does have good car manners, again because he's 3 years from his learners permit. Thanks!
