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 in a crash.

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 may also make the shoulder belt fit

better and more comfortably. Try to keep the belt near the middle of the

shoulder.

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 lb (36 kg) (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?
