Author: Can you point me to booster seats with five-point harnesses?
I swear I saw a couple of these on-line, but I can’t remember exactly what I Googled for and I am now, rather inexplicably, having a hard time finding them. High-back boosters with a five-point belt — these exist, right? Thinking of getting a new seat for a new car, for a 3yo.
Any reviews/comments on these…? How many years of use is it realistic to expect from such a seat?

Excellent price and it’s been very sturdy. We’ve used it for our son since he was 3 and this is what we will be getting our daughter when she outgrows her convertible 5-point harness seat.
Sure you can spend $200+ on a fancy booster seat… or you can get the safety benefits needed and not break the bank.
Is it safe to use graco backless booster seats for a 4 and 5.5 year old?
The 4 year old is about 45 pounds and the 5.5 year old is about 42 pounds. It’s safe to be in a backless booster right?
i believe so 
Does the 2009 Dodge Journey SE come standard with booster seats?
I am interested in the Dodge Journey because of the space and safety features. I saw that they have booster seats in the 2nd row that just lift up. which is genius to me!
does anyone know if these come standard with the SE model?
Also, anyone that has used them, what is your opinion on the seats? comfortable for the kids? worth the extra money if it doesn’t come standard?
Good question
what is the weight requirement for booster seats in california?
my cousin is visiting and she is 45 lbs. what is the requirement for a booster seat, and will she need one?
In California, car seat laws err further on the side of caution than many other states. California state law requires children to ride in a federally approved baby car seat or child booster seat until they are at least 6 years old or weigh at least 60 pounds. California also requires children under age 16 to be buckled up with a seat belt.

My kid has grown up. What should I do with the baby stuff (strollers, booster seats, etc)?
Is it worth trying to sell the baby stuff online? Shipping will be a pain because the stuff is so big.
Or should I just throw it away?
A local craigslist or kijiji would be the best way to sell online (no shipping!). Depending on the age of the items the may no longer be of use. Car seats are only good for 10 years from manufacture date ( I think) and if you are going to sell it make sure that it has not been recalled. If you just wqant it gone donate it to anywhere you can locally if you don’t know anyone that can use it.
Booster Seat Education – Precious Cargo
Children prematurely moved to seat belts are 4 times more likely to suffer serious head injuries during a collision than children in child safety or booster seats. Safety belts are designed for adults, and children under 4’9″ tall should ride with a booster seat.
The booster seat message is a crucial one, NHTSA estimates that up to 90% of children in the U.S. who should be using a booster seat are not. The goal of this campaign is to educate parents of children who have outgrown their child safety seat that a booster seat is a life-saving transition to an adult safety belt.
The campaign produced PSAs with Disney, featuring Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother, that were released in October 2005. The Booster Seat Education campaign launched in February 2004 and is a spin-off of the Safety Belt Education campaign.

what age is appropriate for front seat booster seats?
i have a two yr old nephew who likes to ride in the front passenger seat in a booster seat, is this legal?
No – most 2 years should be in regular car seats, not booster seat and a child who still requires a booster or car seat should NOT be in the front seat.
It is recommended that no child under 12 should ride in the front and some states have laws against it until a minimum of 6 – 8 years old depending on where you live.
