• Those with a high back.

If, with a backless booster seat,

you cannot find a seating position

that adequately supports your

child’s head, a high back booster

seat would be a better choice.

Either type can be used at any seating position equipped with

lap/shoulder belts if your child is over 40 lb (18 kg).

Children and booster seats vary widely in size and shape. Choose a

booster that keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up

across the stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the

chest and rest snugly near the center of the shoulder. The drawings

below compare the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably

close to the neck and a shoulder belt that could slip off the shoulder.

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh

sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this

condition.

The importance of shoulder belts

Using a booster without a shoulder belt increases the risk of a child’s

head hitting a hard surface in a collision. For this reason, you should

never use a booster seat with a lap belt only. It is best to use a booster

seat with lap/shoulder belts in the back seat- the safest place for children

to ride.
