This. I have a 5 year old and a 6 year old. They are both tall for their age (hoping the 6 year old will be too tall for her seat in the next year) and still both in the car seats.
The 5 year old has inherited his father’s spatial awareness and if we don’t park in a parent and child space I have to physically hold the door so it doesn’t clatter into the car next to us. His car seat is also an absolute nightmare for getting the seatbelt fastened because it’s just slightly too wide so the seatbelt clip is obstructed by the seat which involves having the door wide open and leaning right over him. When his sister grows out of hers I’ll give him her seat which should make life easier.
Our parents didn’t legally have to have us in high backed booster seats until we were 4ft5 though. That’s where the extra obstacle is.
Fair point that.
