Who out there uses backless booster seats?
I am on a crusade to rid the world of backless booster seats. Four years ago I was in a horrible roll over car accident. My four year old daughter was in a backless booster and died instantly. I have since discoverd that if she awa in a five point harness the would have survived. Today July 5, 2010 is her 9th birthday. I hope that if you do have a backless booster, that uses a shoulder belt to secure your child, you would (after reading this) switch to a safer carseat for your child.
I was in a light wieght pick up truck with no back seat (the airbag was off). My daughter slipped out of the shoulder belt that secured the backless booster seat when the vehicle rolled over (6 times).
I am so sorry for your loss! I cannot imagine the level of grief you must feel and I applaud you for speaking out.
I have a 4 year old who has pretty much outgrown her 5 point harness. Although she is well within the 65lb weight limit, she is waaaaay off the charts for height, always has been, and so the tops of her ears are now at the top edge of the seat….which means she’s about too big for it. We have a Sunshine Kids Radian – a seat I researched thoroughly before buying because I knew my daughter would be so tall and I wanted the biggest seat available.
So, I have no choice but to put her in a booster seat, even though I cringe at the idea. A 5 point harness is WAY safer for kids and I wish manufacturers would make a large version of a 5-point harness seat for taller or older kids. We are in the process of researching booster seats right now, but most of all, I wish my baby girl would stop growing so she can stay in a 5 point harness for a couple more years.
I’m so, so sorry.
