Not that that stops people from putting newly 2yos in LBBs.

I'm fine with a 30# minimum. I'd like to see a 4yo minimum, and would be in heaven with a 5yo minimum.
I have a friend who bought her GD (2.5 yrs old/40 lbs) a booster b/c it stated that it was for 30 lbs and up. She was frustration at the company b/c it states one thing and the law says another.
:yeahthatlove: EXACTLY!!!!!
My 6 1/2 year old goes between 38-40lbs, and he is on the last slot of the FN85 (which he doesn't use full time anymore), some kids do need the lower weight limit.
She's 11 now, she survived, so what's the big deal?
I was even encouraged to call my pediatrician, and told "they'll tell you it's fine to put him in a booster."
I agree that many people will believe the box and not do the extra research. Good for you for doing an incredible job at keeping your DS safe!
That must be incredibly frustrating for you. Did she actually survive anything? Was she in a serious collision? If not, she didn't survive anything and, if you want to, you could point that out. Do they know that this is the most likely thing to kill a child?
Maybe you should to prove them wrong. My pediatrician keeps up on the research and AAP policies (as all should) and would tell you/them that it is not okay.

("your child must meet one of the following minimums:
3yo AND 50lbs,
4yo AND 40lbs,
OR
5+yo AND 30lbs)

Our pedi never says much about car seats. They asked whether he was rear-facing at checkups until he was 2
