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 lbs (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.

Types of booster seats

There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats:

•

Those that are backless.

If your backless booster seat has a

removable shield, remove the

shield and use the lap/shoulder

belt. If a seating position has a

low seat back and no head

restraint, a backless booster seat

may place your child’s head (top

of ear level) above the top of the

seat. In this case, use a

high-backed booster seat.
