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,

Ford Motor Company recommends use of a

belt-positioning booster.

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 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?
