Booster Seat for Young-un
Hey All, Here's my 1st question. Does anyone know of or recommend a booster seat that fits nicely in the back seat. We have a 7 year old daughter & the booster seats we have been using don't fit very good in the new Mustang.
Thanks in advance, Dale

My little sister's booster seat was just a bit too wide for the indentation in the back seat. But some strategically placed rolled up old beach towels leveled out the seat and brought her up high enough to see out the front and get the seat belt at a comfortable position.

1st what type are you using. Most likely you will need a high back booster to give her head and neck support. If you are not useing a Graco Turbo high back or evenflo Big kid try one of them. Just dont throw the box out or receipt until you try it. Next dont place anything under the seat. If you are in a crash towels will compress and the belt will have slack on her which will cause her more movement and poss injury.
If you have questions feel free to e-mail or call me at work I run a car seat safety program for a hospital in Michigan.

Yes, Julie, Thanks for the tips. We have been using High Back Seats, but our old cars had just a single seat belt in the middle with a teather strap @ the top, they fit very good & tight. The bottom just doesn't fit into the seats very well in the New Mustang. Thanks again. I'm goin out tomorrow evening & gonna try different seats until I find one that fits & she is comfortable in.

Check these out. http://www.recaro.com/index.php?id=1531®ion=3&L=2
They look like they will fit. I'm about to buy one. It says the booster is about 17" wide. You're gonna have to go measure the rear seat though.
