Thanks, Trina!

You're welcome, Amy.

I urge everyone to watch the video. Only 1 out of 5 kids who should be in a booster actually are!

Thanks Trina for posting all the carseat info. I wish people would realize how important it is. Here in Illinois they changed the law in Jan, so children up to age 8 must be in a booster. I rarely see children at ds's school in boosters. I got after my neighbor last week because her 6 yr. old was not in a booster. She didn't know the law had changed. It shouldn't have mattered, he should have been in one anyway . She did say she was going to go out and buy one. We will see.
