CHILD SEAT:TETHER: STRAP/WEBBING
I HAVE A COMPLAINT REGARDING BOOSTER SEATS AND THE INABILITY TO PROPERLY SECURE MY 50 LB FOUR YEAR OLD. SHE IS TOO BIG FOR A 5 POINT HARNESS CAR SEAT (40 LBS) AND THERE ARE NO SHOULDER BELTS IN MY 1986 SUBURBAN TO USE A HIGH BACK BOOSTER SEAT. I CAN NOT COMPLY WITH THE NEW CALIFORNIA LAW AND AS A LOW INCOME FAMILY WE CANNOT AFFORD A NEW SUBURBAN FOR OUR 5 CHILDREN! WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO????
