Child Car Booster Seats

I've been watching the television show MotorWeek for most of my life.  It is produced by Maryland Public Television and can be found on your local PBS station and now also on Speed TV.  This week's program featured news on the latest testing of child booster seats for cars performed by IIHS.  The site first explains how to properly use these seats and gives their recommendations based on their findings.  Since I have so many friends and family members with small children, I wanted to note this.  One thing that was mentioned is that if you now have a seat that the IIHS has found not to be safe, they say that under no circumstances should you stop using it in favor of using no booster seat at all.  Any booster seat properly used is better than a child in no booster seat.  Rather, use your current seat until you can replace it with one that is recommended.

Be safe out there!
