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
child restraint they are currently using.
• If you have a vehicle that does not have a tether anchor-
age 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.
The shoulder belt
MUST cross midway
between child’s
shoulder and neck.
The shoulder belt MUST
be routed properly.
See page 36.
Using as a Booster Seat
The lap belt is
stretched low and
snug across the
child’s hips.
The lap and shoulder
belts
MUST
pass
beneath the lower belt
guide and fasten into
the buckle.
