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.

Larger
Child
Ride
in
this
Car
Children vary widely. And while age
may be one indicator of when a child
can safely ride in this car, there are
other important factors you should
consider.
Protecting
Children
Physical
Size
Physically, a child must be large
enough for the
lap/
shoulder belt to
properly fit over the hips, chest, and
shoulder (see pages
15
and 29). If
the seat belt does not fit properly,
the child should use a booster seat.
Maturity
To
safely ride
in
this car, a child
must be able to follow the rules,
including sitting properly and
wearing
the
seat belt properly
throughout a ride.
