My SIL is sooo bad about not properly restraining her kids. I have helped her properly install seats before and offered gentle "suggestions". Today, I was please to see that her almost four-year-old was in a booster (I know, should be in a 5-point, but better than free floating in the car). I didn't recognize the booster, but it appeared to be similar to the Turbobooster in its design.
Here's my question - the lap portion of the belt was under the armrests and on his lap as it should be, but the shoulder belt portion was over the armrest. It was still across his chest and over his shoulder properly, but it went over rather than under the armrests before being buckled in. Is this really bad? I was surprised at how well it seemed to fit him despite this error, so I didn't say anything (yet!).
