ster car seat for your child: try not to pick out a babyish print or style. If your child is supposed to use this seat for much of their childhood, they are not going to want to be in a booster car seat that looks like
a baby seat. Think long term and go with a seat with neutral colors and a sleek, stylish design that your child won't become embarrassed of later. Also, keep in mind that you could have other children down the road, so it's best to choose a color and design that is suitable for a boy or girl.
We have found the transition from toddler car seat to booster car seat to be an easy one to make for us and our child.
Children are much safer riding in a booster car seat until they reach 80 pounds, than they are by using the vehicle's seat and seat belts which were designed for adults. Remember, it is against the law to place a young child in the regular seat belt of a vehicle.
Always remember to read and follow the manufacturers instructions tha.come with your booster car seat to insure that you have installed it correctly and are using the booster car seat properly. A 2004 study of child safety seat use found that about 73% were used improperly. Improper use defeats the whole purpose of using a booster car seat.
