sleeping in the booster

bets · Jun 8, 2005

My son, 4 3/4, is a big car sleeper. The Evenflo big kid deluxe carseat is lovely, EXCEPT, he falls to the side when he sleeps. Kids become like lava when really sleeping. He slept so beautifully w/o moving in his britax roundabout, the marathon is SO big and he fits well into a shoulder strap booster when awake.
Which booster will keep him upright while sleeping? Anyone??

Probably a Bodyguard because of the sidewings. How much does he weigh? If you already have a Marathon and he fits in it, I would use that anyday over a booster because the 5 pt harness is sooo much safer than just a booster.

I always think of race car drivers - they use harness type belts for a reason, right?!

Boosters do keep kids so much safer in shoulder belts (than without the booster, obviously), but they're only good so long as the kid sits still in the proper position & even then a harness style is safer ... my SD below usually rides with me in a Husky quite comfortably & happily, but sometimes uses a Parkway (with similar head wings to the Bodyguard) - she actually prefers the Husky, though

She does also have a backless Turbo & Starriser Comfy for very short trips, but those are her least favorite.
