Is DD ready to go boosterless?
Hello everyone,
It’s been a long time since I have been here, and it looks like this subforum is not very active. I’m hoping someone can help me out. DD1 is 11yo, in 5th grade, 59 lb, 4’4” and sits in a high back booster in our two primary cars and occasionally uses a backless booster for carpool/in a friend’s parent’s car. Is she big enough to go without a car seat for short rides at this point? She will be remaining in a high back booster for now, as she still frequently falls asleep in the car and I like her to have head support. But it’s more common now for a friend’s parent to give her a ride somewhere and I’m wondering if it’s still necessary to give her a backless booster to take with her. Thank you!

Dd1 was over 4 feet tall, and 70lbs. I think she was 10.5 or so when she finally stopped and she had used the Safety First Incognito for about a year prior. Dd2 is now 56”-58” and 73lbs. She will be 11 at the end of April. I think she has been out of a booster since covid started. She used a Safety First Incognito once she hit 60lbs. in 2019; and she had the Peg Perego low back booster (it had a high back but she got rid of that at 9 iirc). She is in 4th grade though (we held her back this year), but has always been taller at the same milestones vs. Dd1. She has gained both weight and height in the last year. This happened with Dd1 as well. They took forever to reach 4 feet and 70lbs., but then they just took off like weeds.
