I was shocked to read that booster seats for children ages 4 to 7 years old only reduce personal injury risk by 59% over seat belts alone. As reported by a study by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Booster seats are designed to elevate young children so that seat belts are positioned correctly and therefore will ensure safety. The IIHS evaluated booster seats for safety. They look at things such as safety in crash tests, the position of the seatbelt and other very important safety factors.
The Institute recommends these 10 best booster seats:
- Volvo booster cushion
- Recaro Young Style
- Graco TurboBooster
- Fisher-Price Safe Voyage
- Combi Kobuk
- Fisher-Price Safe Voyage
- Britax Parkway
- Fisher-Price Safe Voyage
- LaRoche Bros. Teddy Bear
- Safeguard Go
- Britax Monarch
10 not recommended booster seats include:
- Safety Angel Ride Ryte backless
- Cosco/Dorel Traveler
- Cosco/Dorel (Eddie Bauer) Summit
- Graco CarGo Zephyr
- Evenflo Big Kid Confidence
- Evenflo Generations
- Compass B505
- Compass B510
- Dorel/Safety 1st (Eddie Bauer) Prospect
- Cosco Highback Booster
- Cosco/Dorel Alpha Omega
- Evenflo Chase Comfort Touch
- Safety 1st/Dorel Intera
Our children are everything ! Keep them safe !
