This study reconfirms previous reports that BPB seats reduce the risk for injury in children 4 through 8 years of age by studying a greater percentage of children aged 6 to 8 years than previous studies. After adjustment for potential confounders, children who were aged 4 to 8 and using BPB seats were 45% less likely to sustain injuries than similarly aged children who were using the vehicle seat belt. Among children who were restrained in BPB seats, there was no evidence of a difference in the performance of backless versus high-back boosters. On the basis of these analyses, parents, pediatricians, and health educators should continue to recommend as best practice the use of BPB seats once a child outgrows a harness-based child restraint until he or she is at least 8 years of age.
Ok I am utter confused now. I am doing a paper for school on why a child should use a booster seat and not go straight from 5pt to seat belt. I was going to do a speech on extended rear facing but the teacher said it would step on to many toes. I had already written the paper when she said "no"
So my confusion is this. I read the study top to bottom. My interpretation is that a NBB is no safer than a HBB. If this is true why do we rec. HBB.
I thought it was HBB provide more protection in a crash by limiting the forces on the neck and head. Also I thought I read that it protects the internal organs because of the side of the restraint.
Seat belt alone is more risky than any booster.... I really don't believe that a child in a seat belt alone or one in a booster that has some SIP is not better.
It's high back vs. no back that we don't have research regarding the difference in safety.children who were aged 4 to 8 and using BPB seats were 45% less likely to sustain injuries than similarly aged children who were using the vehicle seat belt.
If it was as bad as it looks.

It's high back vs. no back that we don't have research regarding the difference in safety.
That's what is in the new study. The research found there was no evidence regarding the effectiveness between a HBB vs NBB.
What class is it for and why is the teacher censoring your topic that much? Step on too many toes? :scratcheshead:
