Elementary School Kids
My now almost 10 year old is in 4th grade this year. He weighs 78 lbs and is 4 ft 8 inches tall. This year when it came time for school to start he came to my husband and I and asked that he not be in a low back booster anymore. I know in our school he was the only kid in the 3rd grade in an lbb and he took alot of flack from it. My husband and I made the decision that enough was enough and we began letting him ride in just the seatbelt. For us him being made fun of (which he is already a very sensitive child) was just too much. So what are your opinions? Here is a pic of him in his seat ready for school.

The seat belt doesn't fit him right. If he was my child he would be boostered. -
My daughter was out of the booster the day she turned 8 years old.

My kids have been out of boosters/carseats since second grade. I have tall kids and their weight is higher then kids their age. -
What about a no back booster? My 8 year old is still in one. -
Is there anyway to adjust the seatbelt because it doesn't fit him. -

i think he should still be in a booster, the belt doesnt lay properly on him. imo

Better teased than dead from an ill fitting seat belt.

Our 5th grader is on a booster and unless he has a HUGE growth spurt this year he will probably be in one for 6th grade too.
Your son is a lot bigger than ours. He is only about 60lbs and maybe 4 1/2 ft tall -
No one ever sees my son get out of the vehicle? I don't understand how he can be made fun of? Who sees him?
IMO from looking at the picture you posted - he doesn't look tall enoug- the seat belt isn't laying across his shoulder/neck correctly
My son will be in third this year and still in his low back booster
