[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 3.5 yr old still sits in a carseat and I was curious when parents stop using a car seat.  [/quote]

5. We switched to a highback booster (Graco).

Minimum is 4 and 40 pounds, booster seats often have height/weight minimums on them. Your child has to be able to sit properly for the full extent of the car trip.

For moving out of a booster, the seatbelt should fit properly without one. [/quote]

Minimum weight for a high back booster is 30 lbs.  [/quote]

While this may be the stated parameters of some HBB, a booster would never be the best practice for a 30 pound child.  Never.[/quote]

Agreed. Kid should still be rear-facing at that size, no matter how old.[/quote]

Even if they are 17?   :wink: [/quote]

My kid happily RF, so going till 17 would work just fine for us.  We tried to turn and got a refusal.[/quote]

Well, goody.  Like everything else, it's personal.  My very tall 3yo threw a shit fit until we turned him.  Somehow we've managed not to kill him for a whole year.  [/quote]
