Feet on seat

Is this ok? She's sitting on an Olli. Sometimes she puts her heels on the seat with knees up too. The belts always still look good though its hard to see here. She mostly rides with her legs down and is comfortable, but every now and then does this.

I wouldn't encourage that because I would fear that she is "twisted" and that could impact how she is positioned in an accident.

I would get her a footrest instead. :) I found that the [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Inflatable-Foot-Rest-Relief/dp/B002A17QWW"]inflatable footrests meant for airplanes [/ame]work well for FF and boostered kids. And they are lightweight!

My DD twists herself like that sometimes, I don't like it and tell her to straighten out (she is usually turning her upper body a little more though).

I love that inflatable foot rest! I might have to order one of those (we usually only do footrests for road trips and stick a duffel bag at their feet, she still tends to twist herself though, usually to get away from her brother).

There are some brands that are better than the one I linked above.

Check TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Ross, etc. because they often have them for CHEAP!

I just keep our rolled sleeping bags at DD's feet for a footrest. She has a footrest and the sleeping bags are there for emergencies and I don't have to store them in my house.

Thanks. I put a footrest sometimes, but she's normally comfortable, just feels like sitting differently. I wasn't sure if its a safety issue, but I could see if she twists too much it could.
