I'm unhappy, so little time to hunt for a booster seat which likely to be out-of-stock with the sudden surge in demand.

Tankee, our DSs same age and height, we thinking of padded insoles de...hehee

:rotflmao:[/quote]Silly lah. So my Sec 1 boy and my 90++yo MIL also have to use booster seat ... :siao:

We have 4 boosters, 2 in each car. And DD coming 9yrs old is still using the booster. I have always believed in height not age being the determining factor of when a child can be off boosters.

U hve 2 cars? Wow!!

Years ago, I picked up 2 discarded booster seats near the dustbin and used it for dh's car. LOL. My car already had 2 booster seats then. But we don't have all already... okie, still have 1, but I'm not going to buy, lah. Will do the platform shoe . HAHA.

I’ve to agreed that is the height that matters & not age. If our child is not up to the right height; using normal seat belt without the booster seat will be uncomfortable for them such as the belt will cut across their neck rather than across the shoulder etc… in event of accident, is not safe if the child is not properly strapped up.


The belt adjuster are only for front seats right? I don’t think rear seats have this features… unless premium cars?

So, don’t saved on $, life is more impt…

Someone I know has been stopped by the traffic police in Dec, but before the news was even out - but guess cos his child was seated in front and not even belted... But traffic police said if he could show he has booster seat with him, he would give him a chance, but he didn't have it with him.
