Booster seats should be used until you can answer YES to ALL of these
questions when the child is seated without a booster seat.
• Can the child sit all the way back
against their vehicle seat with
knees bent comfortably at the
edge of the seat cushion?
• Can the child sit without
slouching?
• Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?
• Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?
• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?
Always use booster seats in conjunction with your vehicle lap and
shoulder belt.
Types of Booster Seats
• Backless booster seats
If your backless booster seat has a removable shield, remove the shield. If a
vehicle seating position has a low seatback or no head restraint, a backless
booster seat may place your child’s head (as measured at the tops of the
ears) above the top of the seat. In this case, move the backless booster to
another seating position with a higher seatback or head restraint and lap
and shoulder belts, or consider using a high back booster seat.
