Lean, but good and pertinent info and weight-centric rather than age :thumbsup:

HC would like to see children in a 5 point harness to 45lbs if possible?
I'm betting that it was a weight conversion thing. But it is important that kids are staying over 40lbs before moving to a booster. The kid who waffles between 39 and 41 lbs depending on the day should ideally still be in a harness until their light day is 40lbs. Of course for parents who have a seat with a 40lb limit that kind of makes things hard, but thankfully more and more seats have higher weight limits than that and most parents won't face that decision.
You think that when they converted kgs to lbs something got mixed up?
45lbs is a huge jump.. like that could be 2-3 more years in a harness for some kids.
hmmmm.
Is this the new HC recommendation or law?
It's the first print info I've seen w/ the 22#FF information on it.
Only math slight I see is that 20kg is 44.1#, right? Or did I miss more?
