General Motors: Hip Hop Booster Seats
Safety belts are not designed for children. Beginning at around age 4, many children are too large for toddler seats but too small for adult safety belts. A booster seat raises your child up so that the safety belt fits right - and can better protect your child. The shoulder belt should cross the child's chest and rest snugly on the shoulder, and the lap belt should rest low across the pelvis or hip area - never across the stomach area. The rap group "Slum Village" has created a song targeted at children between 8 to 10-years-old. The message in the song is to teach these "tweens" that using a car booster seat can help save their lives. Safety experts from General Motors say booster seats raise a child to the correct height in a car and thereby enable the proper placement of a seat belt across the child's chest. "Slum Village's" hip hop song contains a four-step slogan: "sit, pull, cross, click!'"
