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 reach a

height of at least 4 feet 9 inches (1.45 meters) tall (around age eight to

age twelve and between 40 lb (18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) or upward to

100 lb (45 kg) if recommended by your child restraint manufacturer).

Many state and provincial laws require that children use approved

booster seats until they reach age eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches

(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 lb (36 kg).

Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these

questions when seated without a booster seat:

• Can the child sit all the way back

against the vehicle seat back with

knees bent comfortably at the

edge of the seat cushion?

• Can the child sit 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?

Types of booster seats

There are generally two types of belt-positioning booster seats: backless

and high back. Always use booster seats in conjunction with the vehicle

lap/shoulder belt.

• Backless booster seats

If your backless booster seat has a

removable shield, remove the

shield. If a vehicle seating position

has a low seat back or no head

restraint, a backless booster seat

may place your child’s head (as

measured at the tops of the ears)

above the top of the seat. In this

case, move the backless booster

to another seating position with a

higher seat back or head restraint and lap/shoulder belts, or consider

using a high back booster seat.
