Of course, children vary widely. And

while age may be one indicator of

when a child can safely ride in the

front, there are other important

factors you should consider.

A child may continue using a booster

seat until the tops of the ears are

even with the top of the seat-back. A

child of this height should be tall

enough to use the lap/shoulder belt

without a booster.

If a child needs a booster seat, we

recommend choosing a style that

allows the child to use the lap/

shoulder belt directly, without a

shield, as shown.

Whichever style you select, follow

the booster seat maker’s instructions.

The National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration and Transport

Canada recommend that all children

ages 12 and under be properly

restrained in a back seat.

The back seat is the safest place for

a child of any age or size.

In addition, the passenger’s front

airbag poses serious risks to children.

If the seat is too far forward, or the

child’s head is thrown forward

during a collision, or the child is

unrestrained or out of position, an

inflating front airbag can kill or

seriously injure the child.

Thesideairbagalsoposesrisks.If

any part of a larger child’s body is in

the path of a deploying airbag, the

child could receive possibly serious

injuries.
