Statistics show that children who use booster seats in the rear seat of the car are far less likely to be injured than children who wear just a seat belt. The reason for this is that seat belts are made for adults, not children. In fact, a seat belt could cause more damage to a child than good if there is a crash. Booster seats can minimize the risk of injuries and fatalities. Bubs n Grubs recommends that parents look for a few key safety features in a booster seat.
One of the most important things to look for in a booster seat is that it meets your country’s safety standards. Governments around the world have strict guidelines on how booster seats are constructed, materials that can and cannot be used, and key features that a seat should have. A good quality booster seat should come with a government safety standard certification or rating. Bubs n Grubs suggests steering clear from booster seats that do not adhere to current government safety standards.
Some of the safest and most comfortable booster seats offer side-impact protection. This means the seat has a back and headrest with cushioned wings to protect against side crashes. Many boosters offer advanced technology that use quick-release air to shield the head and neck from damage and distribute the force of the impact. This prevents children from incurring potentially disabling or fatal head injuries. In addition, the head rest can support the child’s head while sleeping, providing extra comfort.
Seat belt placement is another important feature in a booster seat. The booster seat should allow both a lap and chest seat belt to be secured into place. The belts should rest on the child’s thighs, chest, and shoulder. If the seat belt rests on the stomach or neck, the child could suffer serious injuries in a crash. For children under 20kg, a harness is the best option. Many boosters come with five or six-point harness that distribute the force of a crash and discourage whiplash and broken bones.
Perhaps the most important aspect of a booster seat is the fit. Each child is different, so parents should look for a seat that fits their child’s height and weight requirements. Bubs n Grubs suggests the following ways to check if the booster seat is a good fit:
Place the child in the seat and adjust the straps or harness. The straps should fit securely over the child’s thighs, and chest area, not the neck or stomach. The harness should be secure enough that your child cannot fall out of the seat. If the belt slips off the child’s shoulder it is too loose. Make sure that the headrest is tall enough to support the back of the child’s head. If the headrest only comes up to the back of the child’s neck or lower, the seat is too small.The child should be able to sit in the seat comfortably without moving around. If there is a great deal of extra room in the seat, allowing the child to squirm around, the seat is most likely too big.
Before buying a booster seat, it is important to look for some key safety features. There is no point to buying a booster seat if it does not meet safety standards or it does not fit the child it is intended for. Remember that when it comes to cars and children, safety is of the utmost importance.
