My son isn''t anywhere near 80 lbs yet. . .I wasn''t paying too close attention when the nurse last weighed him, but I''m almost positive he''s less than 65 lbs! He''s of average height.Date: 1/13/2010 11:17:56 AM

well, I''m the crazy mom who switched all my kids around when they turned one. All met the height and weight requirements and I do know there is a push to change the law to require them to rear face until 2, which I would have followed.
MC-both my older kids are in boosters too. It''s actually law in my state they have to be in a booster until they are 8 years old AND 80 lbs. my oldest is almost 8 but only 50 lbs. If she takes after me, she won''t be out of the booster until the 8th grade which is when i finally hit the 80 lb mark. I do agree that the height is more of a concern and don''t want the seatbelt across the neck so my kids will stay in the boosters and riding in the back seat until they are a lot taller.![]()
The alternative to a booster is putting towels or blankets under him to lift him up a bit. There is enough room in the back seat for three kids and when my kids have a friend who rides with us, I put a blanket under the two of them to raise them up and it works as well.
