[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you parents (and your kids) need to grow a set of balls and parent your kids.

Neighborhood kids made fun of him as a reason to change seats?  Wait until he is a teen and everyone makes fun of him for not smoking, drinking, not having sex, being a nerd doing homework etc...

And my kid whines or complains?  LOL  - great reason.

Yeah, I know. I suck. But sometimes you pick your battles. I've read a bunch of stuff that says the harness is safer, but you're talking .5% safer versus 20% safer. It's not like I'm throwing my kid in the back of a pickup truck. He meets the height/weight requirements of a backless booster. So I caved and I'll also encourage him to be a method addict. [/quote]

Why do you keep talking about harnesses?  High back boosters don't have harnesses. I think you misread OP's post. Does your booster have a back on it?  If so it is not a backless booster. [/quote]

NP. Our Radian seat is either 5pt harness or HBB.

Exactly.  But that's different than a backless booster, which is what the OP was asking about.  PPs saying that their 4 year old are in backless boosters are just simply wrong.  They are using the wrong words and trying to describe a high back booster.  And we know that because they talk about missing the harnesses. If their kid really were in a backless booster, they would be talking about using the back or not.   You're using a seatbelt either way in a booster mode - no harnesses.  The question OP was asking was whether to use the back part of the booster or not.  People are getting the question all jumbled.  [/quote]

The PP above was talking about the safety of being harnessed vs. backless booster.

We switched from 5pt harness to backless booster. Skipped HBBs because they were bulky and didn't fit well in our car. [/quote]
