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?

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, move the

backless booster to another

seating position with a higher seat back and lap/shoulder belts.
