Boosters better than
belts for kids who
are 40 to 80 pounds
Blue Grass Auto Safety Founda-
tion says diligent parents that prop-
erly restrain infants and toddlers in
child safety seats too often skip a
step when it comes to properly pro-
tecting older children riding in vehi-
cles.
"The forgotten step is to buckle
children weighing between 40 and
80 pounds into booster seats designed
to position adult seat belts correctly
and safely around the child," says
Lilla S. Mason, Blue Grass Auto
Safety Foundation Director.
"Booster seats are better than belts
because children that are not large
enough to correctly fit an adult-sized
seat belt remain at risk of fatal injury
from shoulder straps that cut across
their necks and lap belts that ride up
onto their soft bellies.
AAA is joining with other safety-
minded organizations during Nation-
al Child Passenger Safety Week,
February I 1-18, to call attention to
the need for increased use of child
booster seats.
According to Blue Grass Auto
Club Safety Foundation, the easiest
way to know when children are large
enough for an adult seat belt is to
evaluate whether their child can sit
with their back straight up against
the seat cushion while their knees
bend over the seat without slouch-
ing.
Restraint use tot children from
ages one to age four is 91 percent,
according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration. How-
ever, restraint use plummets to 69
percent for children age five to 15--
and most children five to eight are
improperly protecled with an adult-
sized seat belt, instead of a booster.
Booste| scats can be obtained at
major retailers usually less than $60.
All bo,ter seats are required to meet
federal safety standards, regardless
ofpE ice. "l'hey make great gifts from
grandparents or family friends.
One of the biggest challenges to
u ;!, a booster seat is child accep-
tance, says Mason. The Foundation
offers several key tips for choosing
and using the right booster seat.
• From an early age, explain to
yourg children that they will use a
booster seat when they are older.
When it is lime to switch to a booster
seat, show children how the booster
seat offers them better protection
lha|l all adult seal.
• Make sure the seat fits your
child's weight and height.
• Iry installing a scat in your
vehicle before purchasing it. Maim
sure it fits the vehicle seat and re-
straint system.
• Always consult your owner's
manual before purchasing and in-
stalling a child safety seat. Most will
offer specific instructions and list
special equipment needed for proper
installation of a child safety seat.
• AAA also recommends that all
children under the age of 13 ride in
the back seat. "The safest place for a
young passenger is in the back seat,
properly restrained," says Lilla Ma-
son. "Unless there are no alterna-
tives, the back is where it's at."
When there is no other alternative
but to place a child over the age of
one in the front seat, push the seat all
the way back and make sure the child
is safely fastened in the appropriate
child restraint.
