another car seater (booster) question

6 replies

I have 2 high back boosters for 2dd aged 6. One dd is travel sick and I would like to put her in the middle of the back seat so she has a better view. The 2 high backs are too wide so I have been looking for a narrow ordinary booster with a seat belt guide strap - no luck! I have 2 choices, either a booster with no guides in the back or put her in the passenger seat (no airbag). I've never let them travel in the front before. What does everyone think?

From my experience as a chronic car-sickie, putting her in the middle may be no help at all. You get a sort of tunnel vision from peering between the front head-rests, and that somehow makes it worse.

Sorry.

I suffer from travel sickness and find sitting in the front stops it anyway.
Its something to do with looking straight ahead and not at passing images from the side.

My children often take it in turns to travel in the passenger seat, I can turn the airbag off in my car.

thanks, it's getting to be a real problem even on short journeys. kid- are you happy with them being in the front seat?

I am happy with them being in the front seat, as long as they sit nicely and are in their car seat with a seatbelt on.

I let dd (age 4) in the front seat on a booster for short journeys, but anything that's not just around town she goes in the back for in her britax renaissance.

BTW, when she is sitting in the front, if possible (i.e. if nobody behind her), you should have the passenger seat pushed as far back as possible. And when in the back seat, you should try & have the passenger seat in front of her pushed as far forward as possible.
