A friend of mine called me earlier with a question and I don't have a clear answer.
Her daughter, E, will be 8 in October and rides in a Graco Turbo. E's father has a Geo Tracker (year unknown) with a soft top. The back seat has no head restraints and my friend is also concerned with the lack of roll bar over her daughter's head. She says that the exhaust fumes also make their way in the back seat, making her daughter feel ill.
The father is unemployed so trading in or buying a new car is not an option. Mother driving E everywhere is also not an option. How much protection does a soft top provide? Would you still have the child ride in the back seat in a high back (if she still fits) or put her in the front with the seat as far back as it will go?
ETA: I sent a link to my friend so she can see the responses as well.
