Am I correct in assuming that a high back booster is only safe if the lap belt is sitting snugly across the child's upper thighs? Or can a lap belt that is left loose with significant slack still work?
I'm concerned today after having had my husband help my son into his booster twice today with what seems like two incorrect placements of the belt, but I don't want to get on his case if I'm being fussy for no reason.
The first time he just let my son leave the lap belt loose and slack (like slack enough for a whole other kid to fit in there.). The second time he had let the shoulder belt be routed over the armrest while the lap belt went underneath. I always make sure it's done exactly right, but am I just being hyper?
Also is there a good method of teaching a child (he's 7, has some developmental delays but is smart and very verbal) to do his own booster correctly? Like a little poem or anything like that so he can remember to check these things?
