86-Y+ booster question.

safeinthecar · Nov 29, 2007

I asked this once before, but can't find the thread I asked it in. Is 86-Y + booster max weight determined by the weight limit of the booster, or of the 86-Y?

I'm hoping for this as a Soulution to the lap/belt no headrest right in front of the window center position in my mom's truck so I don't have to keep moving the Husky.

There are multiple limits, actually. There's the booster limit, the harness limit, and of course, the limit on the tether anchor.

The booster has the lowest limit, I think -- so kiddo would stop using the booster at its limit ... then possible continue using the 86Y harness with lap belt (unless there's a lap/shoulder available) -- kiddo would need to stop using the 86Y at its limit (which I believe is still 168# although I forget what a heavy duty tether anchor limit has)

If I haven't confused you, my point is that most kids who reach the maximum booster weight limit should pass the 5 Step Test.

Well the booster limit would depend on the booster. I would probably have to get a parkway or a Monarch since they don't have max weight limits. The tether anchor in a Ford goes to 80# then I could install the heavy duty anchor (worked in the 2006 model truck, so I assume it will in the 2007) and the 86-Y goes to 165#. I'm good for right now, could use the BG,Confidence, or TB, since the kiddoes are 62# and 55# (chear for us will you, DS gained another 3 lbs). I'm just thinking long term here.

Ideally, the stupid truck will just spring a leak again because then Ford has to buy it back under the lemon law. Then mom will get something more child friendly.
