My mom brings my DD1 home from school every day (15min drive, rural road), and complains that she can't get DD's harness buckled (she has a hand injury w/chronic pain) snug enough, so she leaves it too loose. My mom understands car-seat safety and doesn't question me on it, so I don't doubt her when she says she CAN'T do it up. I don't want to put her in a booster full time yet (she's 5 1/2, 16.25" torso, 47lbs) but I'm thinking that she'd be safer in a booster than in a too-loose harnessed seat. Currently she's in a TF in my mom's car (1994 Mazda MPV), and has about 1.5" to grow in it...normally she rides in a FR, which she has lots of room in. I've just always said my kids would be harnessed until they outgrew their seats, but I'm not sure that's the safest thing to do in this situation.
Would she be okay in a booster for five short rides a week? If so, should I just convert her FR when I get it back, or get her a Monterey?
