Need pictures of 40lb children in ill-fitting boosters!

Hi everyone.
I am preparing to do a presentation regarding the benefits of 5-point harnessing beyond the typical 40lbs offered by *most* convertible car seats...in other words, I'll be talking about HWH seats.
Does anyone have any pictures of (or would be willing to take pictures of) their 35-40lb child in a booster seat to use in my presentation? I want to show that booster seats aren't always an appropriate choice for a 40lb child...so the worse the belt fit in your pictures the better! Feel free to block out the face of your child...I will probably do that anyway.
If you're interested in helping me with these pictures, please PM me and I'll send you my email address.
THANK YOU!!!

Send me your e-mail. I have pics of michael at just 4 years old, 40 pounds in a low back booster, before i knew better :eek: or you can steal them from here. I don't care if his face is blocked out or not.

Here is logan at 3 1/2 years old, 31 pounds in a booster

*All pics kids are in the weight and height limit(graco No back and graco High back).

I have a picture of my 48 pound 3 year old in just a seatbelt (he was goofing around while I was installing his seat). If that would be helpful, feel free to PM me. :thumbsup:

I can probably get some for you tomorrow. Dd is right at 40-41 lbs, so she would be a great "model", LOL! I can put her in DS's AOe, and we all know that is SO crappy as a booster, it'll be a GREAT picture to show!!!!

I'll see what I can do for ya.
We've got an assortment of combination seats, harnessed boosters/belt positioners, etc.
I'll have his Dad show me "what not to do" scenarios!

If you can get a picture of a child that weight in an Interra being used as a booster, it would be perfect. We had one recently at a check, but I did not take a picture. The lap portion did not even TOUCH the child. It was a submarine waiting to happen.

Not sure this is good enough, but this is my ds in the cargo at 41 pounds and 4.5 years. This was his seat for awhile.
