I don't put my kids on baby seats, mostly because when they were smaller, there is usually someone else in the car. Like, hubby will be driving, the baby will sit with me or I carry the baby [edit : We usually sit at the back]. Now my kids are 6+ and almost 3, so am thinking of getting booster seat for the 3 year old... Anybody with experience with booster seats?

I meant to post something about this, rather than just put up the link, but got called away for something else in the middle of it.

I was interested when the article mentioned kids under 13 should sit at the back seat.. My 6+ sits in front once in a while, and it just occurred to me, that much like her baby brother who's 3, the seat belt doesn't fit her that well too... so how? booster seat too ke?

Though I did see this thingamajig at Jusco once, some kind of seat belt adjuster thingy for small kids.. Alas, didn't bother to read the instructions or labels...

It's something like this.. Dunno if it is as safe as having them sit on the booster seat and wear seat belt normally...
