How do I page Emiliemadison? my kid is 4, 41.5", 40 pounds and his shoulders are at least an inch above the highest position of the harness. Should I switch my Graco nautilus to high back booster with seat belt? Information is so confusing, it says up to 52" for harness but should switch to high back booster when shoulders are above harness slots.

i was just wondering the same thing about my car seat. he has the recaro prosport and i can't figure out if i can move it up to make the harness higher or not. i tried him with the seatbelt this morning and it fit so much better that i am going to use that now instead.

bubblywater - It sounds like the next harness slot is hidden by the head rest. Move the head rest up to the next level and you should see another set of harness slots that are higher. I would continue to use the harness for a child who is at the minimum for booster use (4 and 40 lbs).
saraandmichael: You should be able to adjust the harness to a taller level. You have to uninstall the seat to move it up, though (even though it has a no-rethread harness). I dont remember how hold he is... Let me know if you have questions

thanks! i can't find where i put the manual (though now that i am typing this it is probably behind the chair) to see how to move it. he is 5, turning 6 july 3rd.

it really depends on the kid, but for kids are wiggly and you know they won't sit still I would say closer to 7. the pro sport can accommodate a kid harnessed until 90 lbs, with their shoulders below the tallest harness slot and their ears even with or below the top of the seat. so it's really up to you as to when you know your child will be ready to be without the harness.
