How old is he? My son will not fit into the 5 point harness seats that they sell in the stores. His torso is too long.

5, and fairly tall for his age. He fits just fine. :shrug:

plus the seat we picked out has the upper strap guides set pretty high up on the seat back.

Does he wear a Hans Device and wear a helmet too?
This will probably be Shrillary's next campaign promise - government funded car seats.
It's for the children, you know.

He is definitely not a bubble boy. You should see his wicked bike ramp in the backyard.

I thought about getting one for our son, so when he falls asleep in his booster, his head wont flop around

We got all 3 of our kids the Safeguard child seat....They are $400 a piece but we got 15% off for buying 3.
I KNOW that is a TON of money for a carseat but hopefully we will never have to buy another. And I know we have sent atleast that much in carseats for the kids in almost 3 years, so we should have got these from the get go.
These will last them (in the 5 pt harness) until 65 pounds. Our 2 year old twins weigh about 30-32 pounds each and our 4 year old is at about 40-41.
The Regent was on backorder for like 3 months so we went with these.
I did watch the video and it is heartwrenching.....
My next door neighbor's little girl was ran over by a truck on Friday -- It's just one of those things, you do what you can to protect them, but in the end, we don't have a say in the big scheme of things.

Okay.... who's 80 pounder's butt is stuck in his 5-point carseat in Huntington...
Perfect timing, wasn't it?
Back on topic, both of mine stayed in their 5-point until they were 8 years old. My 11 year old still weighs under 65 pounds. He has yet to experience riding in the front passenger seat.

Please tell me there's a major road to cross and that's why you drive him two blocks to school.

Have you been to Waldorf lately? I don't think I'd let my kid walk from the door to the car!

I do before care (one kid) and drive a neighbors kid too. Plus I have to drive my oldest, and three other kids to middle school that is a mile and a half away. We all leave at the same time. I drop the younger kids first and pull back around to get the older ones. Just makes it easier. Plus, I live in Bannister. Enough said, huh.
