DD is 3.5 and approx 20kg and very tall. She is in a Britax Evolva 1-2-3. Because of the weight limits we are using the seat belt rather than the harness. She is normally fine but has a habit, especially when tired, of slumping in the car seat and as the seat belt doesn't have a crotch strap to keep her upright her bum can slide quite far forward in the seat.
Her seat is in the middle position of the middle row in our Kia Sedona. THere is nothing between her and the windscreen of the car. I am terrified that in the event of a collision she will submarine under the seat belt and potentially through the windscreen.
If i catch her doing it she gets read the riot act and she knows it is very naughty to do it but she is also 3.5 years old and impulse control is not a strong point. I have a 18month old and a 4 week old as well so i worry i will be distracted and wont notice she is slumping so am looking for a foolproof physical solution.
There is no way she would tolerate a new rear facing seat (i saw that the extended rear facing seat have higher weight limits for the harness than the forward facing ones). We could afford a new booster seat if we have to. i have had a look on halfords for a booster seat the has a crotch bar or something to physically stop her sliding but so far have not found anything.
Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so, how did you deal with it.
Many thanks!
