I have a question about the Britax laptop... I know shield boosters are unsafe and as close to being outlawed as possible... what makes the laptop any different or safer?
I have a 3 year old son who has outgrown his harnessed seats and while I know a bigger harness seat would be ideal, it is just not doable at this time. First off, I don't think I could fit one in my car with my two other kids, also it is more money than we really have right now.
I've looked at the thing and it basically looks like a shield booster, though without the "seat" on it. What makes it different? Is it safer than a traditional high back booster? My son weighs 34 lbs, still not heavy but very tall. My seatbelts lock, if that makes a difference. We're going to be buying him a booster in the next few weeks, probably a graco turbo booster, but if this is better or as good, I want to look into this. How does it make the seatbelt fit the child if the child is not elevated in anyway? Does it pull the shoulder belt down? We have shoulder belts in the backseat, is this better only for lap belt only cars? It looks really neat and it would probably fit better, but I want him to be safe.
I guess I am just wondering why it is okay but a shield booster is not, and is it as safe as or safer than a high back booster? Thanks.
