When You Should Use Booster Seats For Your Child

Booster Seats For Tables

• A booster seat for table allows the whole family
  to dine together anywhere, takes up less space at
  home, and is especially valued by germophobe
  parents apprehensive to use kids high chairs
  provided at restaurants.

• An infant booster seat or a toddler booster seat
  for table provides that extra boost for your kid
  to bring them up to the level of the table, but
  with the added security of the harness straps to
  avoid any accidental injuries.
• A booster seat is also considered an excellent
  transition for children into grown up chairs.

Three Stages Of Booster Seats

• Children generally move through 3 stages of
  car seats or booster seats
• Rear Facing Car Seat
• The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
  recommends babies be in rear-facing seats until
  age 2, or until they reach the car seats height
  or weight limit. Thats usually 30 to 60 pounds
  (13.6 to 27.2 kg), depending on the seat.

• Forward Facing Car Seat
• Use a forward-facing car seat until at least
  age 4, and until your child reaches the height or
  weight limit of their seat. That can be anywhere
  from 60 to 100 pounds (27.2 to 45.4kg) depending
  on the seat.

• Booster Seat
• Once your child outgrows their car seat,
  theyll still need a booster seat to help them
  properly fit your cars own seat and safety belt
  until theyre over 57 inches (145 cm) tall. And
  they should sit in the back of your car until
  theyre 13 years old.

Types Of Booster Seats

• There are two kinds of booster
  seats high-back and backless. Both have the same
  age, height, and weight requirements.
• High-back Booster Seat
• High-back booster seats are appropriate for
  cars with low seat backs or no headrests.
• Backless Booster Seat
• Backless booster seats are appropriate for
  cars with headrests and higher seat backs.

When You Use A Booster Seats

• Children at this stage are not yet ready for
  adult safety belts and should use
  belt-positioning booster seats until they are at
  least 49? and between 8 and 12 years old. Safety
  belts are designed for 165-pound male adults, so
  its no wonder that research shows poorly fitting
  adult belts can injure children.

How To Use A Booster Seats

• Center the booster seat on one of the cars back
  seats.
• Have your child sit on the booster seat.
• Guide the cars shoulder belt and lap belt
  through loops or hooks provided on the booster
  seat.
• Tighten the lap belt low and flat against your
  childs thighs.
• Make sure the shoulder strap doesnt touch your
  childs neck but crosses at the middle of their
  chest.
• Never use a booster seat if a car only has a lap
  belt. Children must use both a lap belt and a
  shoulder belt.

Conclusion

• Its very important that you use the right seat
  for your child, and use it properly. Keep your
  child in each car seat stage until they have
  fully outgrown their particular seat, regardless
  of age.
• No one expects to get in an accident, but if one
  occurs, youll be glad youve taken every safety
  measure.
