Five Dorel Juvenile Group Booster Seats Rank Among Top-Rated Car Seats in New Report From Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In its 2012 "Boosters Reach Milestones" Status Report, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has rated five Dorel Juvenile Group booster seats among the best choices for families and their booster-age children. In the US, most states require children to ride in boosters until they are 8 years old and meet state mandated weight and height requirements.
The IIHS acknowledges our commitment to safety and high standards by recognizing five of our booster seats, encompassing all of our brands, with its "Best Bet" rating, including the Cosco Pronto, Eddie Bauer Auto Booster, Safety 1st Boost Air Protect, Safety 1st S1 Rumi Air and the Maxi-Cosi Rodi XR. The Maxi-Cosi Rodi received a "Good Bet" rating.
"The Best Bet rating for our seats confirms our commitment to safety and families," said Dorel Juvenile Group President and CEO Dave Taylor. "Children's safety and providing parents and caregivers the best protection for their children is built into everything we do and everything we produce."
Several of Dorel's "Best Bets" feature Air Protect, a revolutionary technology that minimizes forces to a child's head in the event of a side-impact crash. Leading the way in safety innovation, the next generation of our Air Protect side impact crash technology, G-Cell HX™, was just recognized with the juvenile products industry's highest honor – the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association Innovation Award.
