6yo and booster question

DS is 6 he is about 55 lbs. He is in a high-back booster with the shoulder belt guides on the side. (Century Breverra) He is now too tall for the shoulder strap to be in the correct position using the guide. What are my options?
Use the booster without threading the shoulder strap through the guides?

Get a backless booster for some added height?

Go boosterless and use one of those belt guide devices?

A combination?

Shoulder Belt Guides

It is perfectly acceptable to continue to use your high back booster without putting the shoulder belt in the guide.

In fact, as long as the seat belt fits your child correctly without the guide, it may actually be preferable not to use the guide. Some guides can "catch" the shoulder belt if the child pulls it out, leaving slack in the belt.

If the shoulder belt fits nicely on the center of their shoulder and chest, and not on their neck or arm, then it is fine without the guide. A backless booster like the Evenflo RightFit or Safety Baby Uno/Polo is also fine, as long as your child has proper head support from the vehicle seat or headrest.

Please post again if you have more questions! Thanks.

Michelle,

He can continue to use the booster without the shoulder strap being in the guide. The other option that you have is to purchase either a Fisher Price Future 20/60 or Britax Super Elite which will allow you to continue to use the 5 point harness.
