My sister's pediatrician just went to a funeral for a little child who was in a short backed regular booster seat that was the correct size for him. His sibling in a tall, hard back booster survived as did the other sibling in a regular infant car seat. The parents actually passed away too...it just proves even more that the right car seat saves lives!
We are strict about car seats over here too!
CPSafety has a good article on The Basics of Booster Seats. It's really good info. Funnily enough I actually got a few emails back with questions about boosters. Hopefully this helps!

ok since you are on this topic my safety police friend...;) I was wondering how on earth you keep a giant boy rear facing so long?!? Stephen is almost 16mo and still rear facing but has NO room for his long legs and big feet. He is in a Britax Marathon (I think). Just wondering...since you have big boys too!
Oh and thanks for all the info. very helpful!
You can find lots of info on extended rear facing! Google that and see what comes up. But here is a good starting point: http://www.cpsafety.com/articles/stayrearfacing.aspx
