Reports done in the United States reveal that car accidents are the primary reason for child deaths. With the way things are today, children spend more and more time in cars which increases Childs chances of being in a car accident. To help protect children while riding in a car it is required to place a child in a booster seat. There are several styles of child protection for the car, but the booster seat is the most common.
The basic meaning of the term booster seat is a seat that raises the child so that the vehicles safety belts will restrain the child properly. If a child is not restrained properly in the vehicle, then the safety seat belts which are designed for adults could actually harm the child rather than help. With thought of child safety in mind any child that has outgrown their car seat should be placed in a booster seat until the child reaches the age of 8 and are 4′ 9″ tall. This comes from the National Highway Safety Administration.
