Our kids are going to be in 5-point restraints until they're at least six, because we had to buy Britax Husky seats when they outgrew their convertible seats (too tall) before reaching the 4-year/40 pound rule on boosters. Imagine how popular THAT is going to be. On safety, I have no trouble whatsoever being a hard-ass. And it's quite nice to hear you describe the kids working out their rules. It gives me some faith that kids are smarter and more capable of handling difference than I sometimes fear. Thank you so much for giving me the heads-up on Nat. I'm so excited for Shannon and Cheryl, I can barely breathe! Well, I’m with Soper, I’m still bitter about never getting an easy-bake oven.

He, too - got some jeering about it, but he doesn't bring it up (nor in therapy ;-)) and I felt it the right thing to do. Glad you are getting the work done, never had a doubt though! :-0 :-) My 9 yo (today!) rode in his booster until just turning 8, he had finally reached the appropriate h/w.

I'm still bitter about it. But Noah will probably get over the booster seat thing. My parents didn’t let me see George Michael in concert at Pine Knob when I was 16. I’m still bitter about it.

I think my 11 yo DD is so lucky because she has Wicked, Bend It Like Beckham and Whalerider to provide her with rolemodels and all I had was Gidget. B) My 7 yo and her 7 yo carpool companion are both still in boosters. Its nice that both families are on the same page. But when I drive another 5 yo friend he always argues with me when I insist he ride in the extra booster. But I hang tough. :-) A) I love the soundtrack to Gravity.
