How old is your son? How much does he weigh?

Personally, I would not use a booster seat like that. He could easily slide right through the top. My son is 5 1/2 and I do not use a booster and will not use a booster.

My son is 4 yrs old and weighs 40lbs... he just went to the doctors and she told me its time for a booster seat since his carseat only went to 40lbs...

If you want to use one that is strictly up to you, but I would not use one WITHOUT a shoulder belt.

This was why I chose not to use one.
