Thoughts on booster seats & kids

I really think you all are the most safety conscious of any parents I have ever come across. But just as a reminder, when switching out of the 5 pt into just a belt, look at the height of your kid, not necessarily the weight.  The belt should fit low on the belly & not cut into the neck (so they aren't pulling it down or putting it behind them).  That's what matters in an accident b/c if it hits across the stomach its too high & same for neck.

I truly am amazed at the kids that I see Caileigh's age (8) that are out of car seats completely and the seat belt is up near their neck.  Kudos to everyone keeping their kids buckled !

Re: Thoughts on booster seats & kids

  • This is why I like the high-back boosters. They really help in positioning the belt correctly
  • It shocks me when I pick Noah up at school and see kids his age getting in to the front seat!  I think the age for that is 12.  Noah is in a backless booster, he's tall enough and sits upright in the car - but the front seat thing never fails to shock me.
