my daughter is 32 lbs and 36 in tall. Does she need a 5 point harness booster?

i would definetly still keep her harnessed it is much safer how old is she? although age isn't really the big questuion her height and weight suggest she should stay harnessed as long as possible

My 4 yr old is 42 tall and 35lbs and i still have her in a 5 point seat, I just feel safer with her in it, I figure i will keep her in it until she no longer fits..lol

i am glad you posted this question on here, because i have always wondered myself! i think my son is big enough to be in a booster, but i dont feel comfortable with him not being in the 5point harness, im scared if we get into a wreck he would just fly right out of that booster, and plus with him being in his carseat he cant get out like he would in a booster lol

I have a Britax Marathon for my son and it's a 5 point harness that goes up to 65lbs. I'm not sure there's much different between a car seat or booster, as long as both are a 5 point harness. You want her to be in a 5 point harness as long as possible.
