[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just allowed my kids who have spring birthdays. My son is 10 at 4'11" at 81lbs and my daughter is 12 at 4'10.5" and 89lbs. The seatbelt fits them appropriately.[/quote] My 10 and 12 year olds are tall enough, but they weigh 72lbs and the seat belt doesn't sit right. Reading that 6 year olds ride without a booster is making me feel ridiculous having my kids in them, even though the belts cut across their stomachs and necks without them.[/quote] PP you're quoting. Don't feel ridiculous- if the belts don't sit right on them, it's unsafe. I periodically checked the belt fit on my kids and if it didn't fit, they remained in a booster. We didn't often drive with other kids, so really no one knew they were still in boosters and the ones who did, didn't say anything. I would've kept my kids in boosters had the seat belts not fit them right, and I don't care what other people would think![/quote]
