| NEW: Booster Harness for Use with Lap Belts |
| After years of testing and hard work, the booster is now available for use with the E-Z-ON 86-Y Harness in both passenger vehicles and school buses with only lap belts available. The Ride Ryte booster can be used for children weighing 30 to 80 pounds in school buses and 40 to 80 pounds in passenger vehicles. It also can be used as a belt-positioning booster. The Ride Ryte Booster, which comes in either a backless or high-back version, was originally the Galaxy 200– from Basic Comfort. Now it is jointly made by Safe Start Inc. and Safety Angel International, Inc. It has been tested satisfactorily with the new, slimmer version of the E-Z-ON 86Y Universal Harness, and a child-size version, the Kid Y Harness (for kids up to 80 pounds). The latter has lighter adjusters, webbing like that on a regular CR Harness, and a retainer clip. It is important not to use other boosters with the harness. The Ride Ryte booster is sold through Safety Angel International, while the 86Y and Kid Y harnesses are sold by E-Z-On distributors. Prevention Alternatives is marketing both the harness and the booster together. The Ride Ryte will be tested with the E-Z-On Vest soon. E-Z-On has developed a new way of anchoring a tether to the base of a school bus seat that is "seat-belt ready."
