Most convincing video for booster use?

jadefaerie · Jan 17, 2012

My niece just posted a pic of her 6yo asleep in the back of her car laying down completely unrestrained. My niece is younger and not as well-informed as some and I would like to make one effective plea to put her baby girl in a booster at all times. I will even send her one! What video would you use? Video would be more likely to be viewed than article read in her case. TIA

Six and ten year old dummies.

Ten year old dummy.

They would all have internal injuries from the belt on the abdomen, and likely neck and spinal injuries.

You have to watch the lap belt in this one. It literally goes through the dummy's stomach.

Here's the counterpart with the booster. The lap belt stays on the lap.

High back versus backless, imagine what no booster would be like if you can combine the former video's poor lap belt fit with this.

This is one of my favorites. The realistic, graphic scenes are emotionally compelling. It's long enough to really make an impact with parents and caregivers but not so long that they'll begin to lose interest. The kids they used in the video really do look like bigger kids (those who really still need boosters but usually aren't riding in one).

And it's free to download. Can't ask for more than that!
