I have an online friend whose daughter is 9 years 8mos old. She weighs 36lbs and is 3ft 8" tall (so 44"). She is still riding in a 5pt harness at this point, but she is beginning to protest riding in a "baby seat", concerned kids at school and whatnot will make fun of her for that as well.
She also has a form of dwarfism called Russell-Silver Syndrome, which is a form of primordial dwarfism, but these kids are nowhere near as tiny as those with "classic" primordial dwarfism (namely, Kennadie, for example).
She lives in a 40lbs minimum for a booster seat state, and she doesn't think her daughter will gain 4lbs any time in the near future.
Any advice?
My thought is just to go ahead and use a booster (a HBTurbo, a PW, a Vivo, perhaps even a Monterrey? or does the Monterrey have a 40lbs min?), because no police officer is going to pull a scale out of his pocket and weigh an almost 10 year old.
WDYT?
