What are the best links to show kids about boosters?

I want to show my oldest kids some links that show the 5 step test and why boosters are necessary.
It will be easier for them to understand if they see it for themselves rather than just me telling them what I know.

I thought of the 5 step test that is on the car seat blog.
What else is good?

OP, good question!

I like the idea of the videos that demonstrate fit on real kids. (thanks, veggiegirl!) I think the picture links showing the 5 step test (e.g. the blog) is good too.

After watching the videos, I was wondering if many kids actually 5 step at 57".

Based on SBS's statistics, only around 50% 5-step at 57". Some 5-step in some cars as early as 53" and others in other cars not until 61".

For a real world example of what could happen without a booster, I've shown my older kids the video on www.boosttil8.org (which is about why a booster is needed BEYOND 8, despite the name.)
