Boosters!

There is no fixed age when children should be out of a High Chair and transition to a Booster Seat. On average, this happens between 16 months and 2 years of age. Your child will indicate when it is ready to make the transition. It's important that the child doesn't exceed the High Chair weight limit…

When a High Chair is no longer an option and your child is not ready yet for an adult chair, it is best to have a look for some alternatives. Nowadays you can find Booster Seats that offer the same amount of support and safety as a High Chair.

Other safety considerations include:

  • Check that the seat is assembled correctly and complies with standards by theConsumer Product Safety Commission. There’s also the ASTM, and the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association’s standards.

  • Ensure that your dining table is heavy for a hook on the booster seat, sufficient not to tip over when supporting your child’s weight.

  • Avoid attaching the booster seat in a way your child’s feet touch the dining tables supports. Otherwise, they’ll push against these to dislodge their support seating.

  • Double-check or test that your booster seat locked securely onto the dining chair or table. Thats before putting your child on the booster seat.

  • Use the safety straps. That includes the middle strap between your child’s legs if your seat has a three-point harness. That’s to prevent slip-outs and falls.

  • The dining chair to which you’ll attach a booster seat must be sturdy, heavy, and stable with a backrest. Avoid using a bar stool or folding chair.

  • Never leave your child strapped in the booster seat. When unstrapped, don’t allow them to stand or kneel on it to avoid tipping over.

Shelter

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

been a long time

It's been a long time since I rock-and-rolled
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back
Let me get it back, baby, where I come from

It's been a long time, been a long time
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time

bang a gong

Clad in black
Don't look back

Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth
Of the Hydra upon you

Well you're built like a car
You've got a hubcap
Diamond star halo

You're an untamed youth
That's the truth
With your cloak full of eagles

Well you're windy and wild
You've got the blues

Get It On
Bang a gong
Get It On
