The following are more booster seat tips from Dr. Lois Lee, a physician in the Emergency Department and director of the Injury Prevention Program at Children's Hospital in Boston:

You emphasize to your child that the booster seat is a big kid's seat, It's not a baby seat. It helps them look out the window.

You make it clear it's not an option to not ride in the booster seat.

You can tell them it's the law and that mommy and daddy have to follow the law.
