Can I put my 5 year old in a regular non high back booster seat?
Here's the issue. My DH took his car to work and it had her high back booster seat in it. I need to pick her p from school and bring her to an appointment and was going to pick up a regular non high back booster seat. I figure we can use it for when friends come in the car?
She's 5 years old, 45 inches and 42 lbs.
Is this relatively safe? Anybody know?
My kids only used no-back boosters from the time they were 4-5 years old until they were no longer required to use boosters. It was never a problem.
Yes, you can, legally. Is it the safest? Probably not. Your call....
This is just temporary, I will put her back in her high back tomorrow.
Thanks!
Yes, but it is literally for 1, 15 minute ride and she'll go back to her high back tomorrow, and then I'll have the booster for guests. I ALSO have an 11 month old in a convertible car seat facing backwards, so a low booster is the only 3rd seat option, a 2nd high back would not fit for a friend.
Quoting jessi2girls:Can you do it legally? yes.. is it the safest? No.
I repeat.. can you do it legally.. YES..
is it the SAFEST.. NO..
ultimately the choice is yours.. but you asked two things.. A: can you? yes.. B: is it safe? Not the safest, no. And I answered those for you..
I personally wouldn't, but again, the choice is yours, and I answered your reply. Nothing further to say really.

My 5 year old uses a regular booster on occasion. She is a little smaller than your DD.
OK then....
