The First Years B540 Booster Seat Review

With so many states making it mandatory for children under the age of 8 years old to ride in a booster seat (38 states as of Feb. 2007), many parents are looking for booster seats that accommodate larger children. I’m a huge believer that kids should ride in booster seats when they have outgrown a 5 point harness. My own kids have never even thought to ask if they could ride in the car without being in a carseat or booster. Seatbelts are not designed to protect children. They are designed to protect an adult. My own 6 ½ year old still looks so tiny in his booster seat that I can’t imagine how his small body would manage in a car accident. The First Year’s B540 Booster seat received a 5-star ease of use rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and has a wide seat that is perfect for older children.
