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!
