3. Does the shoulder belt cross

between the child's neck and arm?

4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as

possible, touching the child's

thighs?

5. Will the child be able to stay

seated like this for the whole trip?

If you answer yes to all these

questions, the child is ready to wear

the lap/shoulder belt correctly. If

you answer no to any question, the

child needs to ride on a booster seat.

Using a Booster Seat

A child who has outgrown a forward-

facing child seat should ride in a

back seat and use a booster seat until

the lap/shoulder belt fits them

properly without the booster.

Some states, Canadian provinces and

territories also require children to

use a booster seat until they reach a

given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or

60 lbs). Be sure to check current

laws in the states, provinces or

territories where you intend to drive.

Booster seats can be high-back or

low-back. Whichever style you select,

make sure the booster seat meets

federal safety standards (see page

47) and that you follow the booster

seat maker's instructions.
