Spin-off!!! If it were a law to harness to 5 years old would you?
We all know the booster/extended harnessing debate. Most kids go into a booster at 3 years(FAR to young) but if it were at law to harness to 5 years old, would you?

yes for me. My DS will be 7 in March and he is still harnessed. My DD will be 4 next month and will be harnessed for YEARS to come.

Yes I would because we already do. I have 5 kids and they are all in 5 point harness seats. They are ages 4 months, 2, 4, 6, and 7.
I plan to. My DD had her 4 year check up this week and the Nurse was like"oh she is 39 pounds, one more pound and you can go into a big girl booster!!" I then told her that my DD has a seat that will EH her till she is 5. The nurse looked like I just told her I wanted to remove DD's ears!

absolutely. My son is 15 months old and ERF so I will be EH as well.
for me Its about what I think is best for my children. I don't really care what the law says I'm going to do whats best for my kid. My youngest is 7 and no longer requires the fancy car seats. She doesnt fit into them anymore. Which in my opinion forcing her when she's too big into one would be more dangerous. But lets say for arguments sake the law says at 5 car seats were illegal. or even booster seats. That at 5 they had to sit with just the car seatbelt. I would be still putting my kid in what I felt she was safetst and be damm with the law.
My son turned 7 in September and is still harnessed and he loves his seat.
I do...but, my tiny 5 yr old is still at 30 lbs. But, it shouldn't be a law...that should be at the discretion of the parent. The current laws are fine..
We can NOT win a war if we don't identify who the enemy is. We can NOT have a country if we don't have and enforce our borders. We can NOT be a unified country without one common language.

No because my kids can and will undo the harnesses and climb out of their seats. ( its happened to my 5 year old step son more then once before we switched him over) There are 3 car seats in my back seat and they can't reach the seatbelt buckles. So the booster seat is WAY safer..
