Win-It Wednesday: Chicco KeyFit Strada Booster Seat!

by

Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting 24-hour giveaways at 8 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. ET to give you plenty of chances to win!

Child Passenger Safety Week is September 19-25 this year, and it is a great time to check over your current safety seat situation and make sure your kids are secure and plan for what you will need as your children grow. With many parents not knowing the laws or the guidelines for when to move their children between rear-facing safety seats and convertible seats to booster seats and beyond, this is definitely a topic worth paying attention too and reading up on.

Research done by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia has shown that risk of injury to children is reduced by 60% when a belt-positioning booster seat is used rather than seat belts alone. For instance, in my state of Ohio, as of last year, 1/6/09, the law states that children between 4 and 8 years of age need to be secured in a booster seat. This is to protect children in the case of an accident who are not yet as large as an adult, but who have outgrown their car seat.

A few features of the Chicco KeyFit Strada Booster Seat:

  • Easy to install and use.
  • Height and width are adjustable with one hand
  • Fabric cover is removable and machine washable
  • Converts to backless booster for children 40 lbs – 100 lbs
  • “EPS” Energy Absorbing Foam provides enhanced impact protection
  • Triple side protection: head, shoulders and lumbar
  • Deep side wings support child’s head and neck while napping

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a Chicco KeyFit Strada Booster Seat!

To enter, tell me how long a child needs to be in a booster seat in your state. Is it six years old, seven, eight? Do they need to be both an age and a weight before moving out of a booster seat?

    In MD, every child under 8 years old must ride in an appropriate child restraint* unless the child is
    4 feet, 9 inches or taller, or weighs more than 65 pounds.

    I live in the state of Oklahoma. Oklahoma law reads a child 5 or less must be restrained in a child car seat or booster seat. A child aged 6-12 must be restrained using a car seat, booster, or seat belt.

    I live in Kansas. Kansas booster seat law is for children age 4-7 are required to be in a booster seat unless they weigh more than 80 pounds, taller than 4 feet 9 inches, or only a lap belt is available.

    West Virginia state law requires that all children under age 8 ride in an appropriate, federally approved car seat or booster seat that is installed and used according to manufacturer’s instructions. If the child is under 8 years old but is taller than 4’9″, the child may ride in a seat belt according to West Virginia law

    It’s 3 and thirty pounds for Alabama for the highback boosters. It would be a blessing to win as I keep extra children and am in need of one more booster to get them all in :)

  18. Zoe

    Children must be in a car seat until they reach age 4 and in a booster seat until they reach age 8
    Tiered structure now applies:
    Less than 1 year old, or less than 20 lbs. must be in a rear-facing child seat in the back seat (if so equipped)
    Age 1 to age 4, or less than 40 lbs. must be in a forward-facing child seat in the back seat (if so equipped)
    Age 4 to age 8, between 40-80 lbs., and no more than 4 ft. 9 ins. must be in a booster seat

  20. Becky

    South Dakota law does not require the use of booster seats for children over age 5, booster seats are strongly recommended until a child weighs at least 80 pounds and is 4’9″ tall.

  23. Megan

    Here in MI it’s 4’9″ tall before they can be out. I think they also have to be a certain weight also. My kids have awhile until I have to worry about them being too big!
