DS1 is 140 cms tall and weighs 5 st 10lbs. I believe that legally he is now able to travel without a booster seat. We had to move him out of a highbacked booster about 6 months ago as the height that he had to have the head rest at meant rear visibility was obstructed. Since then he has just had a booster seat. Problem now is he has quite a big bum and he is uncomfortable between the two arms of his seat.
So I was wondering if anyone else had any experience of what to do at this point. I want to keep him in a booster for as long a possible as I feel the seat belt fits him better in our car with a booster. I have found a basic car seat that has no arms IYSWIM, but reviews pan them saying they are not great for safety, but is that becuase they don't support the head? Presumably they are the same as the current booster seat we are wedging him into.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated please.
