While surfing the internet, I read on another message board somewhere one poster's comment about why she used a 5-point harness instead of a booster seat for her child. She said she was told at a car seat check that 40 lbs is the minimum weight required to engage the lock on a seatbelt in the event of a crash. Is that true, or mistaken? And if true, is that 40 lb. weight of occupant, or only the force exerted by the occupant, which is going to be much greater in a crash?
