I may have to have my dad pick DD up from preschool one of these days, or just generally be emergency backup transportation as baby #2 gets a little closer to arriving, and rather than having him learn how to install the Nautilus in his car and how to safely harness DD I thought it might be easier for him to buckle her in it as a booster. (The school is literally 3 minutes down the 30 mph village road from our house so I'm (mostly) comfortable with the idea of her being in the booster for that long.) But...
Do you have to remove the harness to use it in booster mode? Or can he just make sure the straps aren't behind her or interfering with the seatbelt? It wasn't clear to me from the manual - granted, it was a couple of months ago when I read it and I wasn't thinking booster mode then, but I do remember the booster section detailing how to remove the harness. Because I would hate to have to remove the harness and then re-install it so we could put the seat back in DH's car!
And is this a completely bad idea to begin with? I would never let DD travel at highway speeds in a booster at this point, but I can't help but think she'd be safer properly restrained in a booster than in an installed seat I haven't checked...
Thanks!
