By 6 you need a high backed booster. These are quite cheap generally. You just need to make sure that its a good fix re holding the lap part of the strap down.


Generally you should check the manual re car seats in the front, and if you use it there try to have the front seat as far away from the front as possible -but its usually rear facing only that require airbags being disabled.

This depends on the height and weight of the child, not their age. Usually the limit for a harness is 25kg although some are lower. Car seats can be used in the front seat (check your vehicle manual for information on airbags), but it is safer for the child to be in the rear. The middle seat is safest if you have a three point belt, otherwise chose the left hand side so they're getting out on the pavement side. In any seat a child under 135cm must be in a carseat/booster.


Presuming you are going with a high backed booster, it's good to get one that secures to the main seat with ISOFIX, that way you don't need to remember to strap it in when your child isn't in the car. We've used http://www.rearfacingtoddlers.com/ before, but I don't think they do high back boosters. It's worth giving her a call though for some professional advice.

Whilst it is possible that some children may not have reached 25 kg by the age of 6 (including mine) , given the OP was thinking of purchasing at this point, i'd assumed she would want something longer lasting. Lots of forward facing seats only harness to 18kg too (just clarifying in case others look at this thread) and there are height considerations to harnessed seats so its important to read the manual. I was really intending to flag that a booster only would not be appropriate for a 6 year old.


The point around strapping in boosters is really really important. We got an isofix one to avoid this issue, but we have a car and the seats stay in. I found that they are generally a bit on the heavier side (though there may be some exceptions) and if you're needing a seat for occasional use in taxis etc then one that is secured with the belt only is likely to be sufficient.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
