You do what works. Period.
My bra size is one thing. But that size bra doesn't fit me. How stupid is that?

Every single bra-fitter I've ever encountered has been wrong, all the same way. They somehow think that someone who is (was - sniff) a full 32C on the smallest or medium hook should be fitting in a 34B bra. If your idea of "fitting" is tits squeezing out over the front and the band slipping down toward the waist, then yeah, perfect.
Not to sound callous about child safety in the carseat debate, but as with all the hyper "don't"s of pregnancy, I think it's possible to go overboard. Yes, I talked my ex- out of removing a perfectly good Britax out of the smaller car and replacing it with a backless booster, but in general, the idea of keeping kids rearfacing until upwards of 4 seems a bit extreme.
eta: On the other hand, I have some acquaintances who do not use childseats at all, and if there's a belt being used, it's strapping down 2 kids at once (3 and almost 5 yrs old). I took those kids with mine to an event a few weeks ago and wouldn't do it unless they provided me with seats and told the kids they had to stay in them.
