[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn't a safety difference between high back and backless, once you're using the shoulder belt. My kids used 5 point until they outgrew it. And backless until their feet comfortably touched the floor. [/quote] That’s not true. High back offers better side impact protection. Both because they limit the body’s side to side movement in an accident, and because of the actual wings absorbing more of the force. They also position the belt better for smaller kids, and keep them in position better. That said, we removed the back when my 8 year old asked to, but I would have loved to move the seat to the center position if that was possible. https://www.consumerreports.org/babies-kids/car-seats/keep-the-back-on-your-booster-seat-a4806370987/[/quote]
