Would you use a RSTV for a not-yet-4-year-old?

We bought a RSTV to use on a trip this summer, after my son turns 4. My husband was asking if we can start using it now, for short local trips in his truck and in the babysitter's car. I read that it kinda tests like a 5-point harness... but I wanted to see what everyone here thought.

Absolutely. I'd use it with any kid over 2 who fit (though the new version has an age limit of 3, so I guess 3) if rear-facing was not an option. It really is a wearable 5-point more than it's like a booster.

Great! Thanks! We're going to do a trial run tomorrow.
