Hi all,
I have 3 child restraints. My oldest children are in a Britax Maxi Rider (used as a tethered booster with Protecta harness) and an Infa Vario with harness. My eldest (a small 7 yr old) can't go in the Infa because the seat belt won't go around him and the booster seat. I can only use the Maxi on the outside of the seat to get the seat belt around them both but there's not a lot of room left on the seat belt for when he grows. The seat belt in the kids' father's car isn't long enough for the Maxi at all so he's bought a Babylove Ezygo (I think?) booster which looks like the Vario.
My question is, are seat belt extenders the answer to my problems with the seat belts not being long enough either now or shortly? Are they actually safe to use or is there something else I should be doing? The manual for the Vario says it's not suitable for use with seat belt extenders but I've no idea why. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Mel
