5. We switched to a highback booster (Graco).

Minimum is 4 and 40 pounds, booster seats often have height/weight minimums on them. Your child has to be able to sit properly for the full extent of the car trip.

For moving out of a booster, the seatbelt should fit properly without one.

Minimum weight for a high back booster is 30 lbs.

While this may be the stated parameters of some HBB, a booster would never be the best practice for a 30 pound child. Never.

Agreed. Kid should still be rear-facing at that size, no matter how old.

Even if they are 17?

My kid happily RF, so going till 17 would work just fine for us. We tried to turn and got a refusal.

Well, goody. Like everything else, it's personal. My very tall 3yo threw a shit fit until we turned him. Somehow we've managed not to kill him for a whole year.
