[quote=Anonymous]We are sort of nutcases about carseat safety, thanks in part to a major accident that happened when my youngest was 2yo (no one was hurt, praise the car seats!) I kept my oldest in a Britax Frontier until the date of his 8th birthday, even though he was a big enough kid that we actually had to use it solely as a booster at that point. My younger child is now 7.5yo and hates the seat - he is constantly twisting the harness and getting frustrated with it. Sometimes I still have to buckle him in when he cant' get it straight. We have a high-backed booster for travel and used it this weekend after moving the carseat out to transport some big items. My son is so much happier. He is not wiggly and at least when we travel is not prone to slumping in ways that would decrease the effectiveness of a regular lapbelt/booster arrangement (the older kid was, which was why I was so hardass about using the Frontier). 7.5yo is about 65lbs and about 55 inches tall (give or take an inch).

I'm really tempted just to stick with the booster for the last 6 months of the required usage. Am I being a lazy unsafe parent?[/quote]
