[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hell no! Read the safety regulations please regarding booster seats, height and weight. Do not go from what people say on here. My child is 47" and 56 lbs at 9 and therefore must stay in a high backed booster in the SUV due to positioning of seat belts. In the minivan she uses just a booster without the back. I love my kid and feel comfortable knowing she will not die in an accident due to my negligence.[/quote]

At 9 years old???[/quote]

What part of this is confusing to you? The need for a booster is based on SIZE, not AGE.[/quote]

Seriously. The stupidity boggles the mind.

Most recs say at least 4"9 and 80 lbs, usually between 8-12 years old. My 4"3 50lb 8 year old will probably be closer to 12 when she stops needing a booster. I don't care if her friends don't use one. I'm not endangering her safety because of peer pressure FFS.[/quote]

My 11 year old who is tall for her age just passed the 5 point test last summer right before 5th grade. My 3rd grader is in a backless booster 90% of the time still.
