I need some help.. Makayla has learned to undo the clip that goes across her chest in her carseat and she is wiggling her way out of the carseat... she weighs 30 pounds exactly and is 34 inches tall... is she to small to put her in a booster seat??? i don't want to be going down the road and her get out of her carseat... what do you think?

You should go over and ask the carseat board.

She is definately too small and not responsible enough. Some boosters say 3 years and 30 pounds, however statistics show that 4 years and 40 pounds is better. Also, if she is undoing her chest clip, then she definately will not sit appropriately in the booster. I agree with the pp. Try the carseat board. They can give you websites that show the importance of the 4year-40 pound reasoning and the 5 pt checklist that you can use to determine when she is ready for a booster.
