Atkinson is an English-language surname. The name is derived from a patronymic form of the Middle English Atkin.
These are much more conservative than state laws, in general (for instance, everyone should be in a booster seat from about age 4 to at least age 8) but remain less conservative than some of the european standards (for instance, the European Child Safety Alliance recommends that children remain in rear-facing carseats until 3 years of age).
Your child is ready for a booster seat when he grows too tall for a forward-facing child restraint. You can check the shoulder markers on your childâs forward-facing seat to ensure he has outgrown it. One of the most common mistakes parents make with car seats is moving their child to the next restraint too early. Legally, your child can sit in a booster seat from his fourth birthday.
