Enjoying His New Ride – Upgrading to a Booster Seat
Posted by Jeff on August 13, 2009 1 views Comments (View Comments)Ok, today was my 4.5 year old son’s first ride in his new booster seat – drum roll……
…and he loved it! It was THUMBS UP!
He thought it was the coolest thing to be able to have more mobility and move around, grab books from the seat next to him (easier) and he even managed to reach out and touch my arm and said, “Cool, Daddy! I can even touch your arm!”
I did tell him that he should always keep his back against the seat while moving like he does on the school bus for his preschool field trips.
He couldn’t wait to get to school and tell his one teacher, Miss Lori, all about the booster seat. Of course, we had gotten there TOO early and she wasn’t there yet. Maybe tonight at pickup we’ll remind him to tell her.
My wife and I had been contemplating moving him to a booster since he still was squeezing into a normal toddler seat, but decided it was time. He is really starting to “take off” in certain areas such as reading book, learning how to swim and doing more adventurous things…so I feel moving him into the seat is like a “big boy” reward for him doing all the other stuff. Anyway to help boost his confidence is a good thing in my book and moving him into this seat sure shows him that!
