[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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). [b]They make cushions for short drivers [/b]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]

Frankly, I could use one of those (5'2"). My petite 11yo (4'5") still sits in a backless booster when it's just us. If we're carpooling, she doesn't. Her 8yo sister is still in a backless booster with no complaints (so far).[/quote]

Poster who was 4'9" until I was 14, currently 5'0". I'm borderline on needing a cushion like that too.[/quote]
