TEXT: Dear Mr. Recht:

My company will be marketing a new automobile accessory for children.

The "Smart Rider" is a seat back protector that is made of vinyl with two 3/4" elastic bands attached. There is a design screenprinted on the vinyl as well. This product slips over either, or both of the front seats, protects the seat back interior from kid's feet, and entertains children riding in the back seat.

Please inform me if this product meets the standards for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If so, do we need to make a statement regarding this on our packaging?

Thank you.
