I have a question about the booster sheet on thecarseatlady site:
http://www.thecarseatlady.com/booster_seats/booster_seats.html
It says:
Why is there that blurb about "You are using a no-back booster"? If you answer no stating you are going to use a high back booster, then I wouldn't be answering "Yes" to all the questions and my child isn't ready for a booster.

Who Should Ride in a Booster?
Kids, especially younger ones, are safer in a 5-point harness. Don’t rush to “graduate” your child to a booster seat. Kids who are AT LEAST 40 pounds AND AT LEAST 3-4 years old can start riding on boosters. Kids should ride on a booster UNTIL they can pass the 5-step-test (usually age 8-10), which you can see below.
If you can check "Yes" to all the statements below, your child is okay to use a booster:
YES NO
[ ] [ ] There is a shoulder AND lap belt where the child sits
[ ] [ ] The child is at least 40 pounds (kids are safer in a 5-point harness, especially those under 40lbs)
[ ] [ ] The child is at least 3-4 years old
[ ] [ ] The child can sit still the entire trip without leaning forward or sitting on their knees
[ ] [ ] You are using a no-back booster
