    I like the booster seats because they're typically easier to remove from the car and clean. My kids are aged 6 and 5, and when we moved them to boosters it was a similarly huge accomplishment. Thanks for the story.

    Thank you for the comment. Yes agree the booster seat is much easier
    to remove to clean or fit in another adult in the back if I have to
    drive out at lunchtime. Still waiting for our # 2 to move to a
    booster.

    That's very exciting! Speaking of child safety seats, my wife and I saw a really little kid (maybe 18 months) being driven in the backseat of a car without ANY car seat, never mind booster. Unbelievable!

    i've seen that before too! it's insane! was it the parents driving (from
    what you could tell?) I've seen grandparents do it. one time I saw 2 kids
    bouncing back and forth between the back windows of "Gramma's Car" looking
    out at traffic! I should have called the Police.

    Not only is it a confidence booster for my son but it also became the BOSS chair. He started taking control of the back of our van and barked out orders to the everyone (the wife, our other kids and me)! It was an ego trip!!

    haha. My son just loves the freedom to reach farther and get things he
    wants. Of course the first few days he kept touching me and saying, "Daddy!
    I can touch you!"

    thanks for the comment
