"Hi this is Judy and Dan on behalf of Expert Village we're going to talk to you about why boosters are so important. Right now we are at a big kick in this country to try to get our kids back into boosters. Parents have used car seats for so long they are so anxious to get there kids out of boosters seats but there is truly not a kinder gardener out there that doesn't need a booster seat and probably most of the first graders out there need them. The law would be changing very soon to require boosters seats to 8 years old and most booster seats goes to 80 and 100 pounds most of them now go to a 100 pounds. So we are going to show you a 5 step test and this is what you do in your vehicle to know when your child should actually not need a booster anymore. You can't really go by age or weight guidelines so much anymore because seats are so different from vehicle to vehicle. For example this seat is out of a Chevy silverado this is the same kind of seat that you would find in a suburban or a Yukon as a very long base. It would very say a child that fits in a compact car or something geometry or a cooper a mini cooper it may have a very small seat base. They would fit fine and they wont fit in here so it is going to very from vehicle to vehicle you got to do this test for the child in the vehicle that you are going to put the child in. "
