• Safety must be a NON-NEGOTIABLE
• Majority of parents enter into a negotiating relationship with child at age 4 regarding where and how child will be restrained in vehicle - this should NOT be the case
• Many children outgrow their convertible seat before they are ready for a booster
• Advise parents to look for seats with high shoulder strap slots & weight limits
• Minimum to transition from 5-point-harness to booster:
• 4 years AND 40 pounds AND able to sit still in a booster

• INVOLVE THE CHILD
• Teach child 5-step-test & how a booster works
• If buying a new seat, let child select (from 2 or 3 choices)
• Empower parent to resist the peer pressure (from child and other parents) to stop using a booster sooner than is safe
• Backless is just as safe as High Back (in most cases)
• State Laws are NOT enough to keep kids safe - most kids need a booster until age 10-12
