NYMom- thanx for all of your great tips!I have been following this thread carefully and really appreciate all of the people who take safety seriously!

My pet peeve in terms of child safety is the parents whose kids do not wear helmet when riding bikes, etc. When you mention it to the parents the response is ‘what am I supposed to do, they don’t want to wear it?’

One question for all you safety experts out there. This is one that has come up alot lately. At what point is it safe for a child to ride in a booster as apposed to a car seat? I have friends who put 2yr olds in a booster. I’m not asking for my daughter (she’s 3 and will stay in a car seat until she is too big for it, but I occasionally give rides to her friends, or others with kids her age and they say a booster is fine even for smaller kids, I’m not so sure. Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you all, and keep up the great work!
