| Car booster seat issue I bought JoJo a booster seat that's raised and attaches to the headrest and around my carseat. I needed something to keep him still because he's a spazz in the car and drives me crazy. Well, this booster is obviously not much better. It attaches to his harness and even at the shortest length, the tether is long enough for him to climb out of it and onto my center console. I'd put it in my backseat, but it's one long seat and the strap won't fit all the way around. Does anyone have any suggestions? Either a better product or some way to calm him down in the car? He barks his head off whenever he sees people, especially walking, and honestly I get really embarrassed! Oh, btw, here's the booster I have (website stock photo):

| You could tie the tether so it's not as long. That's what I had to do with the one that I bought. I've heard a lot of people mention the rescue remedy and an anxiety one too. |

| Thanks for the Rescue Remedy suggestion, but unfortunately I've tried it for 2 weeks and it didn't help at all. I'll try tying the tether to see if that helps. Thanks.

| I have a similar booster seat but it works well for me but I too have to slide it to the shortest position. Sophie usually falls asleep in it after a short while. I would try shortening the tether like mentioned above.
