13 Child Booster Seats Get Poor Ratings

Thirteen car booster seats for kids are getting a poor review because while they may be more comfortable, they don't don't position belts to put occupants in the best position for protection in the event of a crash. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute have announced that they do not recommend the following car seat models: Compass B505, Compass B510, Cosco/Dorel Traveler, Evenflo Big Kid Confidence, Safety Angel Ride Ryte, Cosco/Dorel Alpha omega, Cosco/Dorel (Eddie Bauer) Summit, Cosco Highback Booster, Dorel/Safety 1st (Eddie Bauer) Prospect, Evenflo Chase Comfort Touch, Evenflo Generations, Graco CarGo Zephyr, and Safety 1st/Dorel Intera. The institute also offers "best bet" and "good bet" recommendations as well. Child-seat manufacturers say their products meet and exceed federal regulations.
