Child Travel Vests

What is a "travel vest"?

An alternative to a child seat that takes up less room. It has special materials that seats do not that help distribute the child's weight evenly.

How can my child travel safely if he can slip out of his safety belt?

Another reason for using a travel vest is that there are some children that go well beyond a hundred pounds. There are children who have a hard time sitting properly in the car; they may even have some emotional or physical challenge which makes it impossible for them to travel safely in a shoulder lap belt alone. So, a travel vest is a wonderful option for families and children where there's a problem. We have some youngsters and even some young adults who really don't understand how important it is to be buckled up, and they really aren't capable of making a good decision about this. There are back-closing vests so the child can't release the vest easily, because it zips up the back, it's tethered, and it's used with the vehicle safety belt.
