If this was a child at a check that I was participating in – he’d be going home in a different, better booster if I had anything to say about it. This increases the possibility of internal injuries in a crash. The shoulder belt fits fine but the lap belt is positioned directly over the soft abdomen and is no where near touching the tops of his thighs where it should be ideally. I know this isn’t a big shock to anyone who has been in the field for a while. Honestly, I’d say the fit in booster mode is horrid.

I have no idea if that model has been modified in any way that would improve belt fit in booster mode. There is a new version of this seat that goes to 50 lbs with the harness. This is the older and most popular model with the 40 lb limit for the harness. This week we’ll be looking at the Alpha Omega Elite (aka Eddie Bauer Deluxe 3-in-1) as a booster. I’ve decided to focus exclusively on combination seats because of their popularity with parents of children in the 2-5 age group. I thought it would be even better to show belt fit on a child who was just over the 40 lb weight limit for the 5-pt harness. The IIHS booster study compared the fit of various boosters using the 6-year-old Hybrid lll dummy who weighs 51.6 lbs (23.41 kg) and has a standing height of almost 45″. In each case I’ll use the same seating position in my van – driver’s side captain’s chair in a 2005 Ford Freestar. He’s at the size where most parents would be switching from the 5-pt harness to the vehicle’s lap/shoulder belt in booster mode if they had a combination seat with a 40 lb limit on the harness.

I'm not sure my 9 yr old would still fit heightwise though.Īnyway, I do think the Uptown is a good choice, bu the AOE is ok too if you like it and are aware of it's limitations.HTH! I've never used it as a booster although I guess it's nice to know it has that feature just in case I needed it for one of my older kids. I have an AOE that I've used as a spare, sit in the garage just in case, seat for the last few years and it's worked fine for me, but I don't disagree with what's been said either.they're all things you need to be well aware of when buying it.įWIW, my average sized older DS fit in the harness until he was almost 5 and both my 3.5 yr old DD and 21 mo old use it occaisionally now and fit well in it.my 21 mo old has more leg room in it to rearface comfortably than she does in her Roundabout. They are making the AOE with EPP now as well I'm not sure what girly print you're referring to, but I'd look for that model.
