Online formsDid you know that children’s bones aren’t fully developed until age 7, meaning even minor impacts can result in major injuries, so don’t delay… check your child’s car seat today!
A booster cushion is used to raise a child up to the correct height to safely use an adult seatbelt. It’s safer to use a high-backed booster until the child no longer requires the seat.
Leaving your child’s coat on when buckling them into their car seat can create a gap between the seatbelt and the child. This gap means that in the event of a collision the seatbelt isn’t close enough to the child to properly restrain them. We suggest removing the coat before strapping the child in, and tucking a blanket in around the child that goes no higher than their armpits.
