[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t get the rush to put your kid up front. I mean, what’s the benefit? We know the risks. My 9 yo is still 3 inches away from the height at which a regular seat belt will fit him properly. So he still rides in a booster. What’s the downside to that?[/quote] We are a one-car city family, so we don't drive all that much. My oldest was back seat until 14, partly by his preference because he was used to "his" spot, partly because there are usually 2 adults in the car when we drive somewhere. Now I'm finding that my 15YO is months away from driving and has been in the front see very infrequently and so has very little perspective of the view from the driver's seat. Obviously he'll catch up, but I do a lot of talking through what he should be noticing because I feel like we are making up for lost time and experience.[/quote]
