All the research says to leave a kid in the car seat until they are too big for it, no matter how old they are. Lyla has wanted a booster seat for months, but she's still short enough for the car seat. Times have changed. She'll be five years old in a car seat. By the time I was five years old, I occasionally rode shotgun.
It's probably one of those instances where parents today are overly cautious wienies, but to me, cars are different. They should install regular-kid-sized five-point harnesses in the backseat. Better yet: seven-point harnesses. Secure the feet or something.
"Daddy, I want a booster seat for my birthday."
Not gonna happen. Well, maybe her sixth birthday.
