WY state law says:
all children age 8 and under and weighing 80 pounds or less ride in a federally approved car seat or booster seat that is appropriate for the child's age, height and weight. Wyoming law also requires children ride in a rear seat if the vehicle has rear seats.

So please tell me that there R no backless boosters on the market that are "appropriate for the child's age, height and weight" of 2yrs 2 mons old, about 35-36" and about 27-28lbs. Some friends of ours R visiting from WY and I noticed they had a backless booster for their 2 yr old. I KNOW that is completely dangerous, there is no way a 2 yr old is able to sit correctly in a booster, even if they were big enuf 4 one. But I wanted to make sure b4 I talk to the parents that it is also illegal, not just dangerous. TIA, they leave 2morow 4 another road trip.:(

No, all boosters have a 30 lb minimum, and most have a 3 yr minimum as well (although some have a 1 yr minimum :rolleyes:).

Ok, so even if they have a 1yr minimum booster, it would still have a 30lb minimum at least, right? Amadia is 2 yrs old today, and this lil girl is about the same size, turned 2 in mid to late May. She cant be 30lbs if Madi is only 27. And Im pretty sure she's been in the booster for a while:(
