What are some of the most common mistakes kids make when snapping themselves in to a booster seat?
Although kids of booster age are typically ready to understand and follow the instructions, parents need to be vigilant and firm about the proper use of booster seats, says Injury Prevention Coordinator Tracey Fejt, RN, of Cardon Children's Medical Center.
Watch as Tracey, along with the Turchick boys -- Max, 6, Sam, 5, and Tyler, 4 --demonstrate the details of safe booster use.
I lost the use of my legs when I was 8 from not sitting in my booster seat.properly. I tell the kids, a booster seat is better than this wheelchair
I agree
Yeah, even older than that honestly. I'd say around 12 is when most kids are. Sadly a lot of parents not only allow kids out if booster seats around or below the age of 10-11 but they also let them sit in the front seat. It's just super risky and dangerous and more parents need to be making the safe decision and keep their 10-11 year olds in the back in booster seats
Great video ,I think every parent should know this for your child safety.
Very safe units to use.
Those kids are beautiful. This video was super helpful, thank you
You can turn off passenger air bag
Dunno why I got recommended this but-
I’m literally 16, just got to 4’9
Technically I should’ve been in a booster seat still lmao.
Its legal for 9 year olds to sit without a booster cause I moved out of a booster at 9. I'm 11 and im 4 feet and 10 inches
I got out a booster at almost 8 now I am 13 at 5 foot 7 and 3 quarters
The age is 8-12. I know the law doesn’t apply to adults who are short because adults who are short still have fully developed bones and can still take the impact better then a child. I wonder about teens.
Well the law also said 8-12, so kids 13 and up aren’t required to ride a booster seat.
Well it’s not height and age, but whatever if the kid can fit the seat belt correctly and pass all five steps.
Children should also be rear facing as long as possible
Charlie Tuohey respect u

I agree
@@RMCthrills why are you saying everything
I am just agreeing with Charlie
I have the right to say anything I want to comments
I have a little sister that is eight and she is 4 foot 3
I can't fully see Max's seatbelt because it reflects the color of his shirt.
How old is he now?
Im 12 and im 4 foot 7 do i need one
You do need it if your under. 4 foot 9
I'm 11 and im 4 foot 10 do I need one
No

I do know that there is an age requirement too. It does say 8-12.
If you pass all five steps, then no.
Thank you!!
Thanks
$13 booster? lol...is she talking about those inflatable ones, that are not safe? Because I have not seen a $13 booster. $20 is the lowest price. And I love how they show these skinny kids every time. What if it is a larger kid....and the legs push into the armrests and the belt is stuck there.....I wish there was variety in kid size, in such videos, and we were told if it is still safe how it fits them and if not, what to use instead....
I paid 12 dollars on sale on for a backless booster
@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever dumb comment
Fearn is just really dumb when it comes to child safety
Inflatables are safe but not good for long term use
I hate the 4 foot 9 thing because I'm 13 years old 4 foot 5 and 70 pounds and my mom makes me ride in a stupid high back booster seat in the back seat of her car I'm in 8th grade so it is very embarrassing
Canine Landmine I feel bad
I’m sorry
🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg.. I'm sorry I cant 🤣🤣🤣
Are you still in a booster ?
Omg goodness
The airbag is actually dangerous for everybody
The airbag is safe for 13 and older
I know they always say use a high back booster if the kid can't stay up or falls asleep, but I'm an adult I fall asleep and can't stay upright. It's bad because the seatbelts also cut into my neck sometimes so I put it behind me
It is bad for you to pull the shoulder belt because you wouldn’t have protection in the shoulder area
what is the strap for on the backless booster seat
To fit the seat belt properly
I want to know also about the strap with red buckle
Apparently the black strap with the red buckle is used to help position the seat belt properly near the shoulder of the child, keeping it away from their neck.
Raise the strap vertically to its full length and thread the seat belt through the red buckle. Ensure the strap is laying against the back of the seat - do not allow it to be in front of the child.
This should now keep the seat belt off the neck of the child.
thank you for sharing
Pi3C35 thank you for sharing
Good Video.
When I was eight, I was 4 foot 3 to 4 foot 5
How old are you now?
@@RMCthrills 11
@@RMCthrills how old are u
Make sure your safe in the car because your under the age requirement for boosters but sometimes a 11 year old can sit on the vehicle seat without a booster if they are over 4 foot 9 or above the weight limit of the booster
I am 13 almost 14
Why would you put a 4 year old in a backless booster little kids especially need to be in a 5 point harness as long as possible. I'm 12 and I know how to install a car seat better then some videos on TH-cam. Why do people make these videos when they don't even do it properly it's so annoying!!!!!
Charlie Tuohey You are not 12.
And how do you know that do you stalk him ?? How old am I huh ???
@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever you have been spreading dangerous false information across most every carseat video and channel. I just pray that no one listens to you and your dangerous misinformation.
Rekey a pink seat for the kid
I have no way carseat keys car money or nothing
NBB and HBB both require a headrest!
Your actually wrong high back boosters don’t need a headrest it’s actually uncomfortable for a high back booster for a child because it’s to forward and no one sits that forward
Twist the belt for a kid punishment if missbehaving at school
i only used a booster seat when i was 4. but at 5 years old i was very stubborn with that so i threw it over the window in the middle of the freeway and i fuckin didnt care
YOUR FRONT SEAT PART WAS SO BAD
SUPERSTAR CANDY SUCKS ASS UTTP ASCC I agree
7:48 BUUUULLSHIIIIT!
Why? Because it’s true? Calling something bullshit doesn’t make it so. Sorry if you can’t handle the facts.
@@Awaken12578 Children can sit in the front, I did it when I was a kid and now the passenger airbag can be deactivated, just move the front seat as far as you can and most importantly, use booster and seat belts.
@@Hampstead343
I did it as a kid is a not an excuse. Just because something was done when we were kids doesn’t make it right. However, now that you mention that airbag can be turn off and that the seats can be move back, then I guess it’s okay. But you do realize you call something bs on an video that is probably outdated? It probably wasn’t okay several years ago. But still I did it as a kid is not an excuse.
@@Hampstead343
I was unaware you can do that, but still the video was eighth years ago and during that time you probably couldn’t do that, but I guess things have changed.
It starts at 12 at 8 I sat in the front seat only for a short 3 minute drive. But mostly it's 12 and up, not 13
talk about getting brainwashed
I don’t understand how is it brainwashed. Saying brainwash doesn’t make it so. Kids do need booster seats. Short adults don’t because they’re bones are fully developed and can handle impact better then children. They said around 4’9 or 8-12, so I’m guessing even short teens don’t need one. I could be wrong. And please don’t give me “I done that as a kid and I’m fine”. It is not an excuse. What if you wasn’t? Booster seats (the right ones) keep kids safe.
I couldn’t find if teens need booster seats.
