    Re: Do you use an "H" harness with your booster?

    There is a definite gap in the market in Australia for a seat that has a 5 point harness with a weight limit over 18 kgs. There are options available overseas, but not here for some reason.
    You see this is again confusing - the Infasecure Comfi Caprice - I have been told by Infasecure today has a change to Booster marker of 45cm which is pretty high, and that weight is completely irrelevant.

    Me - and the Caprice is there a weight it is tested to in each mode? Or you can completely ignore weight these days.


    InfaSecure Hey Victoria, that's correct. Suitability is based entirely on the seated shoulder height of the child now
    So I don't know if that is true for all convertible boosters with the height markers but based on that I could in theory get DD (24kg) or DS (18kg) in it without it being in Booster Mode.

    It is also quite illogical that weights are now not mentioned at all, the seats and harnesses must be tested with dummies of particular weights - I can't see how weight can be completely irrelevant, and because no weights are now shown anywhere you can't easily check if a particular seat is one of the height is the only thing that matters seats or if weight comes into it.
