Alert for Parents: Booster Seats

I don't know how many of you parents already saw this article, but I am sharing the info from it right here. Many booster seats have been found not to be safe in car accidents and actually put kids in positions where they will be injured. I hope you don't own one of them and if you do, buy a different one!

So here are the 13 WORST booster seats:

Compass B505, Compass B510, Cosco/Dorel Traveler, Evenflo Big Kid Confidence, Safety Angel Ride Ryte, Cosco/Dorel Alpha Omega, Cosco/Dorel (Eddie Bauer) Summit, Cosco Highback Booster, Dorel/Safety 1st (Eddie Bauer) Prospect, Evenflo Chase Comfort Touch, Evenflo Generations, Graco CarGo Zephyr, and Safety 1st/Dorel Intera.

And now, the BEST TOP rated booster seats that you should buy:

Combi Kobuk, Fisher-Price Safe Voyage (with plastic clip), Graco TurboBooster, Britax Monarch, Britax Parkway, Fisher-Price Safe Voyage (highback), LaRoche Bros. Teddy Bear, Recaro Young Style, Volvo booster cushion and Safeguard Go when it's used as a backless booster.


Thankfully, I don't have to worry about booster seats for another 3-4 years. But I'm guessing the list probably won't change too much by then.

Thanks for posting that. I was wondering which ones were bad! I can do lunch whenever and I should have been inquiring about a good date. When you hear from Raelene let me know!
