Children need a booster seat until their body ts properly on
the vehicle seat AND the seat belt ts properly on their body
without the help of a booster.
Fitting properly means that you can say yes to all 5 questions
below:
1. The child can sit with their back against the back of the vehicle
seat.
2. The child’s knees can bend naturally at the edge of the vehicle
seat without slouching.
3. The lap belt is on the lap, not on the belly. The lap belt should
rest on the top of the thighs.
4. The shoulder belt is comfortable between the neck and the
shoulder.
5. The child can sit like this for the entire trip.
Studies show that half of all 10 year olds need a booster seat to
ride safely. By age 12 most kids can ride safely without a booster.

TO RIDE WITHOUT THIS BOOSTER SEAT?
