We arriving next week. Can't wait its been seven years. We arriving with our 6.5 year old daughter. She weighs approx. 40 pounds (18 Kilos) and here in Wisconsin, at that weight, she must sit in a booster seat. In my mind she ir right on the bubble and most of here pals are now with out. Does SXM have similar laws that we need to adhere to? -thx

There isn't a law for booster seats on the island that I am aware of.
With that said, the guidelines are usually 40 pounds is the minimum weight for a belt positioning booster seat - until that point they should still be in a forward facing 5-point harness. They should remain in a belt-positioning booster until they reach 4' 9". The concern being will the lap belt sit across their lap (and not belly) and will the shoulder belt be off of their neck. There are some option out there for very simple and easily portable boosters, like mifold (avoid the bubblebum it didn't work well for us).

Thanks Lesley. I got your note as well. Thanks. I knew as soon as I posted my question I should have asked you first 👍
