Use a booster seat for your 4-year-old!

The other day, I was alarmed to overhear a woman tell her 4-year-old grandson, “Oh, you’re too big for a booster seat now.”
While you as parents are most likely acutely aware of the need to continue using booster seats until your child is 4′ 9″ tall or eight years of age, maybe your parents or caregivers are not!
Let’s please keep kids safe by following the guidelines below, recommended by NYS Department of Health and Safety.
Booster Seats
Once children outgrow their forward-facing seats (usually around age 4 and 40 pounds), they should ride in booster seats, in the back seat, until the vehicle seat belts fit properly. Seat belts fit properly when the lap belt lays across the upper thighs and the shoulder belt fits across the chest (usually at age 8 or when they are 4’9″ tall).
