How can you tell if your child is ready to transition
to a booster seat?
You should consider using a booster seat if the following
conditions apply:
• The child is mature enough to sit in the booster seat and
not put the belts under their arm or behind their back.
• The child is approaching the weight or height limit of the
booster seat they are currently using.
• If you have a vehicle that does not have a tether
anchorage but has lap/shoulder belts available in the
back seat, a booster seat may provide better protection
than an internal harness seat without the tether.
Shoulder Belt: Must
cross midway between
child’s shoulder and neck
and pass through belt
guide.
Lap Belt: Stretched
low and snug across the
child’s hips, beneath the
armrests, and fastened
into the buckle.
