..the 30 lb minimun thing that you put on your boosters is just unrealistic. Because a lot of parents will read thay and say hey my 3 year old is 39 lbs and very tall, lets get rid of the bulky harnessed seat and just use the booster, woohoo.
Saw my friend last weekend. We are talking about our kids not listening and stuff. She tells me her daughter (3.5) got in big trouble the other day. Why? Because she inbuckled her booster to pick up a toy she dropped, while mom was driving on a 65mph road with no shoulder to pull over. After I grasped for air I asked (nicely, I promise) why the crap was the kid in a booster. Dad says she is big enough, the booster says 30 lbs and she is over that. And now with all of her winter clothing on it was too hard to buckle her in the harness and she was complaining the harness was too tight, so he just put her in a booster ( BACKLESS cosco embassador). Mom was soooo upset.
So I gave the whole 9 yards about fleece jackets and blankets. Then asked them to bring the seats out. Nautilus and symphony, both with infant paddings still in and set on the bottom slots. Head rests both a the lower position. They turned this child forward at 9 months and never moved the slots up as she grew. So I took the padding out, fixed the harness and and made sure it was set for her size. The kid was soooo happy and thanked me that she wasn't squished anymore! I installed the seats back in the cars and made one pregnant hormonal mama very happy!
