children

Children who have outgrown or no
longer properly fit in a belt-positioning
booster seat (generally children who are
at least 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters)
tall or greater than 80 lb (36 kg) or
100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by child

Use a vehicle seat
belt having the lap
belt snug and low
across the hips,
shoulder belt
centered across
the shoulder and
chest, and
seatback upright.

You are required by law to properly use safety seats for infants and
toddlers in the U.S. and Canada.

Many states and provinces require that small children use approved
booster seats until they reach age eight, a height of 4 ft 9 in
(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 lb (36 kg). Check your local and state or
provincial laws for specific requirements regarding the safety of
children in your vehicle.

When possible, always properly restrain children twelve (12) years of
age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Accident
statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in a front seating position.
