[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]our dd is only 46" tall and like 44 lbs -- she is tiny (we are not particularly tall either). she is still in her 5 point car seat -- it goes to 50" and 65 lbs, so no need to change yet, but she reports all of her friends are in boosters (even ones shorter than her). are most people switching to boosters once they weight 40 lbs and are basically at the minimum reqs for a booster, rather than exceeding the car seat? [b]car seats are so much safer[/b], but i know its hard for DD to be the outlier here and its "babyish"[/quote] The bolded isn't actually a known thing for older kids. Both five point harnesses and high back boosters are significantly better than belts (this has been studied), but the data isn't actually very strong for car seats making a huge difference once kids are older.[/quote]
