A video segment by Hollie Schultz from http://www.babygizmo.com showing that putting your older toddlers from 2-4 years old rear-facing in a vehicle is possible. Hollie shows a 20 month old and a 4 year old in a Britax Marathon 70 (rear-facing weight limit is 40 lbs) and a First Years True Fit (rear-facing weight limit is 35 lbs).

@pinkstangcloud a 4ft 6 17 year old has different pelvic bone structure to that of a 4 ft 6 8 year old. I some how dont think they they would be expecting a 17 year old to be in a booster seat because realistiicely a 17 year old has generally stopped growing

the 4ft 9 statement I am 4ft 10 I reached that height when I got married. I know I am not the only short person my sister is 17 and she just reached 4ft 9 my mother is 4 ft 10. and its not just my family of 5girls 4boys we are not midgets my brothers are all around 6ft 3in. 3 friends who are the same height as me and in my highschool there were so many girls who were 16 17 who according to that law would still be in booster seats. I agree keep them safe but that one has always irritated me.

It is frustrating to me when people choose convenience over the safety of their child!! Thank you for the video, word really does need to get out there.
