New Ohio Booster Law

As of 2009, only 20% of children 4-8 years of age are using booster seats.  A large number of these children are severely or fatally injured as a result of being improperly restrained during motor vehicle crashes.

Every child under 8 years old and under 4’9″ must be in a booster.

CJFD car seat technicians are certified by the National Child Passenger Safety Certification Training Program (Safe Kids)

The three main reasons for improper installation are:
• Incorrect seat installation
• Wrong child/seat size
• Loose restraints

In preparation for your appointment, here are a few things to consider:
• Bring the children and car seats to be checked
• If possible have both parents present
• Have your car seat and vehicle owner manuals handy
• Car seat installation area should be free of dirt and debris
