Discussion on whether RideSafer Travel Vest is equivalently safe to forward-facing car seat
From my reading, the RideSafer is not a booster; it's a harness that positions the seatbelt correctly. It's been crash tested and meets FMVSS 213. For a booster-age child, it's likely just as safe as a high-back booster, but for a younger child (like 3), a traditional harnessed seat would be safer because of the side impact protection and the fact that younger kids may not stay positioned correctly.
