Hi ladies

Can I just check, DD (5yrs) is in a Cargo Marathon in the 5 point harness.

When do I switch to booster mode? Do I wait as long as possible, for her shoulders to reach the top shoulder slot? Any other criteria I need to check?

Many thanks

Yes as long as possible. Always better in a 5 point harness as long as she still fits. Not H harness though.

It is only tested with a 22kg dummy so change to booster mode before DD reaches this.

As PP said so long as below 22kgs, shoulders no more then 2.5cm above top shoulder slot and eyes/ears are not level with top/sides if seat.

I have only just moved my 5.5 yo to a booster.
