Each item scored on a 5 point scale (range 0-4) and measure of symptom severity is obtained by summing item scores. To obtain a measure of symptom severity, sum marked responses of the total and/or the respective sub-scales. Mean score: divide sum-score by respective number of scale items.
Laws aside, kids aren't ready to make the switch from a booster seat to seat belts until they're at least 4 feet 9 inches tall and can pass the five-step test below â typically between ages 8 and 10.
Booster seats lift a child up to help adult seat belts fit children properly. Children must start riding in a booster upon outgrowing a forward-facing harness restraint (typically after turning age 4 and 40â60 pounds). It is safest for children to remain in a booster until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall, or at least age 8. Learn more about Minnesota's child passenger safety law, which requires a child who is both under age 8 and shorter than 4 feet 9 inches to be fastened in a child safety seat or booster.
