Child Restraints
Older Children
Older children who have outgrown
booster seats should wear the
vehicle’s safety belts.
The manufacturer’s instructions that
come with the booster seat, state
the weight and height limitations for
that booster. Use a booster seat
with a lap-shoulder belt until
the child passes the below fit test:
• Sit all the way back on the
seat. Do the knees bend at the
seat edge? If yes, continue.
If no, return to the booster seat.
• Buckle the lap-shoulder
belt. Does the shoulder belt rest
on the shoulder? If yes,
continue. If no, try using the rear
safety belt comfort guide. See
“Rear Safety Belt Comfort
Guides” under Lap-Shoulder Belt
on page 1-20 for more
information. If the shoulder belt
still does not rest on the shoulder,
then return to the booster seat.
• Does the lap belt fit low and
snug on the hips, touching
the thighs? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
• Can proper safety belt fit be
maintained for the length of
the trip? If yes, continue. If no,
return to the booster seat.
