I have been following another post regarding booster seat use for a 4yo and now I'm having serious second thoughts. I have a 37# 4 1/2 yo that I just purchased a Compass B510 for to use in our Volvo s60. She is in a Regent in our main car, but I, too was tired of transferring seats(have a MA in the Volvo full-time for little sister, so I would pull her other MA out of Yukon, readjust straps and install in car when needed for 4yo). I sold my RA, bad decision! I figured since 4yo DD is going to be in preschool and may be picked up by grandparents, the booster would be a good choice, since I could fold it and have it in the trunk when not needed and it would be easy for others to pick her up from school.
I'm really not one to sacrifice safety for convenience, but after reading the other thread, I think that is what I'm doing. I guess I thought she'd still be safe, but it sounds like she's still too little for a booster. Plus, when we took it on a "test-drive" she fell asleep and her head was practically in her lap, which I didn't like at all. I realize accidents can happen on short trips, too, so even if its an occasional use seat, she still may not be safe.
Do you think I should buy another RA for 2yo DD and stick with the MA for 4yo? Is the vest that was mentioned in the other post compatible with the Compass booster? I have a Scenera for my mom's car but I'm not wild about it. Suggestions? Thanks!
