Did you know that if your child weighs less than 80 lbs, regardless of age, that they should be in a high back booster? Apparently
seats belts don't hit kids in the right places and can cause them to sustain internal, possibly fatal, injuries even in minor accidents. With really small or slender children the belts can fail to hold them in and they literally fly out. It's a misnomer that a 40 lb child no longer needs a booster seat. There have been campaigns (boost 'em before you buckle 'em) to raise awareness about this issue but they have been only moderately successful which is obvious by the number of people I see at preschool and kindergarten who no longer use booster seats. Just wanted to pass this along since it's something so important.
