Here’s a little throwback video about booster seats and when it is OK for your child to move into a seatbelt. I’ve received a few messages about a booster seat post floating around the Internet today, specifically that this post says it is safe for your child to move into a seatbelt only as long as they meet that state’s law. I do not think this is safe whatsoever, and the conversation requires a lot of nuance specifically based on the child and where that family lives. For example: in Florida it is legal for your child to leave a booster seat at six years old. Unless they pass the five step test, this is not safe. A lap and shoulder belt have to fit a child properly to safely do their job. I hope this helped some people out. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
