When should I change to a high back booster? So my son is 5&1/2 years old and about 55lbs. He still in a 5 point harness car seat. When should I change him to the high back booster seat? I have the graco 3 in one seat.
@klazaro, I was getting so annoyed! 😂 I was like come on you know better than that 😂
Ladies she told me she was exaggerating from the beginning. That’s why I didn’t react to her pic lol
@klazaro, I was getting so annoyed! 😂 I was like come on you know better than that 😂
@klazaro, hahah that’s me every time someone talks about a post and I look for it and find nothing !
@klazaro, yes! I couldn’t even be mad it was so funny haha. I know there’s been no entertainment over here so far. I always see people talking about things but can never find the posts lol.
@everythingisschwell, I know this is the most drama I’ve come across. Without the posts being bumped I can’t find anything good. I was also thinking that @klazaro, was from B.B. and should know better then to have her five year old without a booster. No one held back on car seat safety over there lol
@klazaro, I know things have been a little too quiet. I miss r&r 😕😢
@klazaro, 😂 I was going to say there’s no way in hell he passes the test lol. Glad to hear that he’s in a five point harness!!! And I’ll also add that I love how we can post memes! It makes everything way more fun. I almost spit out my water when I saw what you put earlier .
@klazaro, 😆 I thought you were legit insane!! I’m glad though!
@everythingisschwell, yea it was very hard to hear. I think I’ll call the car seat certified installer and see what he says. He checked my car seats not too long ago. So maybe he will have more insight. But for now he will be staying in the 5 point harness. Thanks for responding
@klazaro, thanks! I take my child’s safety pretty seriously. By keeping her in a seat that’s developmentally appropriate for her I am reducing her risk of death in car accidents. But don’t worry you do you ❤️
@ss3mom, I wasn’t talking about your 5yo, but klazaro’s. That’s crazy! I don’t think 55lbs is overweight at all. That must have been hard to hear
@everythingisschwell, my 5 year old is off the charts for his weight. I was told at his 5 year check up that he’s overweight!! It was tough to hear that
Pp’s 5 year old must be off the charts for height and weight 😆
@everythingisschwell I was just about to post that pic 😂
And I like the lap belt test I took a ss of it for future reference
@effyouceekay, yea I’m thinking I may just keep him in the 5 point harness for now. Just wondering what other did. Thanks for your comment
@everythingisschwell, yes I could never put a five year old with no booster. I don’t get why that would even be the law and why people would think that’s safe.
@effyouceekay, it’s really sad. I’m glad my state protects littles although I’m sure there are parents that ignore the law too 🤷🏻♀️
So 5 year olds are legally allowed to just use a lap belt and no booster at all? That’s Crazy!
I would keep him in a five point harness until he is maxed out on weight or height. It’s much safer.
@klazaro, where do you live? My state requires all kids to be in a booster if they’re under 8.
@klazaro the lap belt isn't across his thighs and the shoulder belt is behind him so how does that pass the test?
@ss3mom If he meets the weight requirements I'd move him to a booster if you aren't worried about him getting out while you are driving.
@klazaro there is no way your 5 year old meets ALL the seatbelts check list requirements because my 10 year old is still in a booster because he's to short and under 100 lbs.
Ehhh yolo when I was a kid we didn’t even buckle and we survived 😏
@hunni.bunni, oh I know that. I was talking about the high back booster seat
I'm not to sure but I do know he's definitely to young for just a normal seat belt with no high back like pp has 😓
@klazaro, yea I figured he’s big enough for the booster
Yea I’ve been thinking about it. I have to double check the manual to make sure. He could be over the weight limit for the 5 point harness seat anyway
@laniejay, I need u. Or expert car seat peeps. Got 5 point high back booster for my 6&1/2 year I’d for Dh’s car. The requirements are up to 50lbs my son is 55lbs and he meets the height. So it’s still safer for the 5 point high back correct? Need help ASAP!!!
When did u ladies change from a 5 point harness to a high back booster? My son will be 7 in November and I’m thinking it close to the time to change his seat. I have to get his weight and height done and check the manual but I’m just curious when others made the change. I know a lot of people with kids even younger then my 4 year old in booster seats that to me is crazy!!
Should I let my x know when labor starts
@squishymommy1, or any of my car seat mommas. Question.
Do you recommend a high back booster over a regular booster? He has outgrown his 5 point. Is the high back booster considered safer?
High chair or booster seat?
@klazaro, thanks! I take my child’s safety pretty seriously. By keeping her in a seat that’s developmentally appropriate for her I am reducing her risk of death in car accidents. But don’t worry you do you ❤️
