Safe Car Booster Seats

Thanks to an article in March '10 Parents magazine, I found the list of safe car booster seats published by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. http://www.iihs.org/research/topics/boosters/default.html

Notice this list has 11 models of seat boosters that are NOT recommended, BUT...they advise you to NOT stop using them immediately....ANY booster seat is better than none, just replace them as soon as you can.

Car safety is such an important issue, we need to make sure our car seats are safe for the kids during the entire time they need to use them. In Massachusetts, we are required by law to keep the kids in a seat until they are 8 years old or 57 inches tall, then they use the car seat belt like the rest of us.

Check your booster seat against this list or CPSC's recall list just make sure they are still up to date for safety guidelines.
