Especially a kid who is maybe 50 lbs or little less??
so..i've been trying out our different seats recently, because I need to find a way to fund a new radian xt, and that will mean selling something.
I had dd use the frontier as a booster, to get an idea of how it fits. I already know i dont like how the nauti fits as a booster on her in my car, but she has a good 2 inches left harnessed i it, so thats fine, I'll get my moneys worth out of the seat.
Thr frontier however, she has maybe an inch left in harnessed. (i guess the way it installs? it's nowhere near as tall as the nauti. She has only 2 clicks left) So, i was trying to get an idea of how the booster fit is.
uh...ya. The belt POSITION is a tad better than the nauti (but still no where as good as in her turbo) BUT...it doesn't come close to her. She actually said "mommy i'm gonna die, it's not tight!" the lap belt almost doesn't touch her...it's held out away from her body by the guides. She is currently 41 lbs. Now, granted, by the time she would need to USE it as a booster, I expect she'll be 45-50 lbs, and have gained possibly a bit more substance to her hip area, but not THAT much. i'm VERY uncomfortable with the fit.
What do you guys think? In a collision, she would have to fly forward a bit before hitting the seat belt, and that is bad, right? Has anyone else experienced this?
Am i making any sense here?
