[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4'9" is the recommended height, as mentioned above, but there will be some squishiness based on whether your kid has a longer or shorter torso. You just want the belt to fit nicely without the booster. Until it does, putting your kid in the car with a belt across their neck isn't safe. I say this as someone who was 4'9" or less until I was 14 who is not a car seat stickler. They make booster seats specifically designed for short older kids. Maybe one of those would be useful?[/quote] +1. My DC is two inches taller than OP's and the seatbelt still doesn't fit correctly in any seats except a few middle seats (because the seatbelt comes from the back of the cushion, not the side or roof). They make cushions for short drivers that don't look like booster seats but add a few inches of height. They should be firm and attach to the seat, so they don't compress or slide out of position in an accident. That may be a good compromise.[/quote]
