Child booster seats

Children outgrow a typical convertible or toddler seat when they weigh

40 pounds and are around 4 years of age. Although the lap/shoulder belt

will provide some protection, these children are still too small for

lap/shoulder belts to fit properly, which could increase the risk of serious

injury.
To improve the fit of both the lap and shoulder belt on children who

have outgrown child safety seats, Mazda recommends use of a

belt-positioning booster seat.
Booster seats position a child so that safety belts fit better. They lift the

child up so that the lap belt rests low across the hips and the knees

bend comfortably. Booster seats also make the shoulder belt fit better

and more comfortably for growing children.

When children should use booster seats

Children need to use booster seats from the time they outgrow the

toddler seat until they are big enough for the vehicle seat and

lap/shoulder belt to fit properly. Generally this is when they weigh about

80 lb. (about 8 to 12 years old).
Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these

questions:

•

Can the child sit all the way back

against the vehicle seat back with

knees bent comfortably at the

edge of the seat without

slouching?

•

Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?

•

Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?

•

Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

WARNING: Booster seats must be installed only in seating

positions equipped with a combination lap/shoulder belt.
