I am post happy today...but anyhow...our cousin was over yesterday with her 3 dd's. 3 yr old twins 38 lbs and an 18 mo old 28lbs. All are FF in these seats

She knows they go to 40lbs and wants to take the harnesses out and use it as a booster rather than invest in new HWH seats. But these girls CANNOT sit still even if it was considered safe at their age. She wasn't tightening their straps and wondered why they got out of their seats and jump around the car. She has been pulled over several times for this. She has started using the seats properly and last night we uninstalled all 3 and rethreaded the harness straps to the appropriate heights.
I suggested getting at least 2 GN and played up the fact that she wouldn't need to buy seats for the twins at least, after that. But at $150 ea she is looking at $300 right off and I know her husband will refuse. She seemed excited about the idea of harnessing to 65lbs especially since the girls will likely still be too wiggly. Are there any other options at all??? We have talked about going in as a family and getting them as gifts for their next b-day...but Christmas comes before that. Any other ideas??
