Idiot proof booster seats

[Rm2000hg]

There are a few children I know from a homeless shelter and foster care who were not riding in any safety seats so I have supplied them or the adults who drive them around with either seats I had or could get fairly easily.

I have recently seen two of these kiddos in the booster seats incorrectly. I have explained and shown the children and adults how to buckle and sit to stay safe but unfortunately it isn't happening. Some of the adults think I'm silly for pushing for booster seats at all.

Any suggestions for idiot proof booster seats? Basically so that if an immature 5 year old were to buckle without paying attention without adult supervision, that it would be close to correct (no threading the belt through anything).... Does this exist?

Easiest to use imo are the Graco Turbos and Evenflo Amps, and they generally fit smaller kiddos well. What ones were they using incorrectly?

^That^ I always send an Evenflo Amp with my kids. BUT my kids also know how to just do it themselves, so I don't even worry.

I would go with Harmony NBB. Better that they be using a NBB than a HBB without the seatbelt threaded through properly. Unless you don't put the seatbelt under the armrests, you can't screw up a NBB.

Thanks!

Does the belt go under the arm rests for all no back boosters?

There is one booster by Cosco- the topside- that the shoulder belt goes over the armrest and the lap belt goes under both armrests. But all other traditional backless boosters require both belts under the armrests, I believe.

I was also referring to NBBs. I find people mess up HBB all the time. (Headrest too low, belt coming out from below shoulder, routing it incorrectly...)
