Booster seat

[lisaes]

Is a booster seat required in Florida? If so, does Tiffany towncar supply them?

No ~ Florida Law reads:..

"What is Florida's Child Restraint Law?

All children 5 years of age or younger must be properly restrained no matter where they are sitting in the vehicle. Children through age 3 must be secured in a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child safety seat. For children aged 4 through 5 years, a separate carrier, an integrated child safety seat, or a safety belt may be used. (FL Statute 316.613)."

YES, TTC will provide a booster seat for your child free of charge. Be sure and request one prior to your trip as not every car has one.

Fl Tours provided us with booster seats for free. I shouldn't be a problem for Tiffany either.

Have a great trip!

Were they a booster that you still use the shoulder seatbelt with? Highback or low back (with TTC specifically)? Thanks!

Yes - by booster they mean the type that uses the car's shoulder/lap belt. TTC offered us a low backed booster, it was a brand new Graco!

eta - make sure and request it! I noticed some of the drivers had one in the trunk when we put away the groceries but others did not. I have always had one when requesting in advance.

Thanks for all the help. Even though it's not "the law", I will still be sure to request one. DS is able to see out the window a lot better sitting in one. We use a "high back booster" seat here at home. HOpefully they'll have one too!

Thanks so much TJ - Yep, I did request one. My dd is still pretty small at 7.5 years old. She is only about 48 # I feel better if she is in a booster still!

my four year old nephew who weighs 65 lbs and is taller than most first graders will be ok with just a seat belt?

TIA!!

I thought I thought this thru - but now I'm wondering.

My 4 yo grandson is joining us. We are not bringing his booster he uses at home - cuz apparently it's not "airport" approved. However, we are getting a free booster from our towncar company.

Now my problem (might) be - we're going to Universal one day and were planning on taking a cab/van. I'm sure they don't provide boosters (?)
