I was a driver for my 7YO twin first-grader DDs' field trip yesterday and was dismayed to see that several kids in each of their classes were no longer using boosters and some of the booster-less boys were teasing the boys who were still using boosters
We're in CA so I'm guessing that these parents figure they're complying with the "6 years or 60 lbs. minimum" without realizing that their kids are still too small to get a good fit without a booster. I'd like to ask the teachers if I can include a handout in the weekly folder or e-newsletter that includes the 5-step test and safety reasons for keeping their kids in boosters longer and wondered if anyone has some good links/references.
Thanks!
