Why are so many parents so eager to move their kids to FF, move them to boosters, get them out of carseats altogether???
I asked a carseat question on one board only to find out that almost all of them with 3 year olds had their kids in boosters already. One child was only 2 and in a booster. Some of these kids are definitely not 40 lbs. No one seemed to understand why I wanted to keep my son in a 5 pt harness.
DS rode RF until he was 2.5 and most people looked at me like I had two heads if I mentioned it.
Why is it so important to some parents to get kids out of car seats as quickly as possible??? Here in ID, they have to be in them until 5 (maybe 6?) yet I see so many kids out before that. And, even tough that's the minimum, the kids are so much safer in at least a booster. I just don't get it.
