"Boost" Your Knowledge About New Passenger Safety Laws

Most parents and drivers know babies and young children need a car seat to ride safely, but what about older children? Do you know what age limit is required for booster seats? Or that different U.S. states may have different safety laws? Starting January 1, a new Child Passenger Safety law in California will require all children to remain in booster seats until they are eight years old or at least 4’9” tall. To know the laws in your state, visit Governors Highway Safety Association.

Regardless of your state’s laws, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) actually recommends children remaining in booster seats up to age 12. Booster seats ensure that the belt fits properly and comfortably across a child's shoulder and breastbone, and correctly positions the lap portion of the belt across the top of a child’s legs. Luckily, Evenflo has a wide range of booster seats ranging from harnessed to belt-positioning in high back and no-back to meet the needs and personalities of pre-school and school-aged children who may be reluctant about sitting in a booster seat. The new SecureKid 300 and 400 models, Big Kid High Back and Amp High and No-back seats blend fashion and function by embodying a child's personal style and keeping them safe and secure in the vehicle.

My Take on the Evenflo Seat
I was able to try out the Evenflo Booster Seat and was very impressed by not only the quality of construction, but also my daughter (who now sits in it everyday states that it is SO comfortable and that it does not hurt her back as her old booster seat with back did. I loved the fact that the seat was affordable and that it had a wide age range so it allows the child to grow with the seat. This was a great seat that I would highly recommend to all!
