[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep an extra backless in my back for whenever we need it. We didn't start carpooling a lot until 2nd grade for practices and by then most of his friends over 8 didn't want to use it. We still keep it in the back and offer. No one on my street carpools to school. [/quote]

You let 8 year olds choose whether to use a booster? In my car, everyone who doesn't pass the 5 part seatbelt test (and that's the vast majority of 8 and even 9 year olds) use a booster unless a parent has explicitly said no.[/quote]

This. Holy crap, hope you let the other parents know about your lax parenting. I would be livid if you gave my child an option when I trusted you with her care. [/quote]

Yes I ask. Because when four 8 yr olds regularly carpool to practice together and no one else has extra seats, at least I'm asking. DS is embarrassed that I continue to ask his friends since "no one uses them anymore Mom!" but I will continue to do so.  I will not force them when they do not regularly use one and are over 8 if their parents do not ask. [/quote]
If the seat belt doesn't fit properly what's there to ask? You let an 8 year old ride without being properly restrained because he chooses to? If the belts don't fit the booster is required.[/quote]

NP here. Once they are 8, it is legal for them to ride without a booster. I will mention to the other parent whether I have a booster or not (depending on how many I'm picking up, I only have one spare) and I've never yet had someone refuse the carpool due to lack of booster.[/quote]
