New advice for kids in cars: Rear-facing seats till 2-years-old, twice as long as had been suggested. In a new report issued by The American Academy of Pediatrics, kids under 13 should stay in the back seats and booster seats should be used until the child reaches the height of four feet nine inches tall. That means a fare amount of kids would be trapped in boosters till high school!

my kid is/was very small. Her pediatrician wanted her in a booster till she was 4'9" and 80lbs. Well,, I just couldn't do it to her.. So at 12/13 years old.. I took her out of the booster. She is 15 today and still not 4'9" and barely 80lbs..so its a tough one..but I understand. The width of her hips and where the seat belts hit her are the big reason for the booster seats. It will take a lot to get society to keep the kids in the boosters,,unless they are made cool somehow. Good luck.

Safety measurement must be done before driving especially when you have a kid inside your car. Buckling your seat belts would be a good safety precaution.

Extra care when driving with a child is really a must. Your advice should be really taken down for a safer journey. Thanks!

Right now it seems like Wordpress is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

The profoundest thought or passion sleeps as in a mine until an equal mind and heart finds and publishes it.
