Booster Seat Safety Presentations for Kids!

Learning about road safety can start at a very early age and educating children about safe behaviour while riding in a vehicle (i.e. not adjusting their belt, or slumping down in the seat) reduces the risk of serious injury in the event of a crash.

Our BestFit Booster program teaches children aged 6-8 (generally the age children are using a booster) to take an active role in their own safety and the safety of others (i.e. siblings) by learning and speaking up about how to use a booster seat and vehicle restraints properly and safely.

Using fun, age-appropriate, engaging and interactive lessons, our 30 minute Bestfit Booster presentations cover the following:

Booster Seat Basics & Injury Prevention
Proper way to wear your seatbelt
Height vs. Age requirements for transitioning to regular seatbelt use
Measuring Height Activity
All students receive a Booster Seat Badge (sticker for their booster seat that displays minimum height they need to be to transition) and a Parent Info sheet to go home
A follow-up activity that teachers can do with their class to encourage retention of important safety concepts.

Children between the ages of four and eight are almost two times less likely to be seated correctly in vehicles than infants or older children
