Booster Seat Legislation

Booster seat laws are expanding across the nation, while there still exists over 40 million vehicles on the road with lap-only belts.

The Ride Ryte ™ booster used with the Kid Y Harness is the safest (FMVSS213 approved) and most cost effective answer to meet your state guidelines if your vehicle has lap-only belts. The Ride Ryte ™ booster is also tested to be used with lap and shoulder belts too!
