  "question": "Which backless booster seats suit older children?",
  "answer": "Clek Oobr: Manual requires backless mode use by children 40–57 in, 40–100 lb, at least 4 years old; Clek's product page gives 43.3–57 in for backless mode, so the sources disagree on the minimum height (manual 40 in, Clek 43.3 in). NHTSA's ease-of-use ratings list the Clek Oobr model S22146826, a booster made 2022-06-08 for 40–100 lb and 38–57 in, at 3 of 5 stars overall and 1 of 5 for securing the child; these are ease-of-use ratings, not crash-test results. Source: https://api.nhtsa.gov/childSeats?dataSet=ratings.\nBritax Highpoint 2-Stage Belt-Positioning Booster: In backless booster mode the child weight range is 48-120 lb. The review recommends the high-back mode for a wide range of children and vehicles, but says none of its child models got a good lap-belt fit in backless mode; the lap belt sat on their thighs away from the hips. NHTSA’s ease-of-use listing for Britax Highpoint model E1C233D334109, made 2022-12-01, gives 4 of 5 overall as a booster and 1 of 5 for securing the child; NHTSA rates ease of use, not crash protection.\nBritax Skyline 2-Stage Belt-Positioning Booster with Quick-Push Connectors: The seat is a belt-positioning booster that converts from high-back to backless mode and is used with the vehicle seat belt. Consumer Reports rated booster fit without the back 1 out of 5 and said the seat provides far better belt fit with the back attached than as a backless booster. Converting the seat to backless mode required excessive force and two people in testing, felt like the plastic might break and did not get easier after repeated attempts.",
