\"\"The RCH has worked with RACV and TAC on a new tag on children\u2019s clothing, helping parents identify when it may be the right time to take their child out of a booster seat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Booster Tag is a road safety initiative by RACV and TAC and is a simple new way for parents to know if kids still need to use a booster seat, based on the clothing they\u00a0wear.<\/p>\n

If a child fits clothing displaying the Booster Tag it means they\u2019re still likely to be under 145cm tall and safest travelling in a booster seat on our roads \u2013 no matter how old they\u00a0are.<\/p>\n

Once a child has outgrown clothes displaying the Booster Tag, parents can check they\u2019re seatbelt-ready with the 5-Step\u00a0Test.<\/p>\n

The RCH National Child Health Poll found parents are really confused as to when they can safely move their child out of a booster seat. The Poll found only three per cent of Australian parents know that a child needs to be at least 145cm tall to safely sit without a booster seat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Booster Tag is a clever and innovative\u00a0initiative to help remind\u00a0parents that their child is very likely to still need a booster\u00a0seat. If a child fits clothing displaying the Booster tag, they are likely to be too small to safely travel without\u00a0a booster\u00a0seat,\u201d Director of the RCH National Child Health Poll Dr Anthea Rhodes said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith thousands of kids wearing clothing with Booster tags every day, parents across Australia will be reminded how to keep their kids safe on the roads, which in turn can\u00a0help save children’s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

All profits from the limited-edition range will go to The Royal Children\u2019s Hospital, helping children and their families affected by\u00a0trauma.<\/p>\n
