My ds is 6 years and a couple months old. I don't intend to harness him as long as possible because he'd outgrow the nautilus harness at around age 8 or 9. He has a turbobooster in the car as a spare seat. He's sat in it for a couple years and is fine, but those are short trips, about once a month or less often, and there isn't a van full of kids to distract him.
When I do get him a booster I am seriously considering the monterey. He has a 15.5 inch torso and weighs 45 pounds.
I don't want to buy the booster, then find out he can't sit properly in it. On the other hand, I think he should with a lot of sip like the monterey has. Would he fit the monterey?
Ds asks every now and then when he can just use the seatbelt. He's asked much less frequently since we got a nautilus. He seems to be pretty happy with his seat- he just wants to use it with the seat belt instead of the harness. (That's not going to be since the lap belt sits too high AND he wouldn't be able to buckle himself anymore.)
I'm going to have to sell the nautilus to get the funds for the monterey, so I can't just buy the booster and if it doesn't work out put him back in the nautilus.
So, when to make the change?
