The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than
40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to t the vehicle’s seat belts
properly. If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat
cushion while the child’s back is against the seat back, they should
use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and belt-positioning
booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.
CHILDREN TOO LARGE FOR BOOSTER SEATS
Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably,
and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat
when their back is against the seat back, should use the lap/shoulder
belt in a rear seat.
• Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as pos-
sible.
• Check belt t periodically. A child’s squirming or slouching can move
the belt out of position.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer
to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder
belt under an arm or behind their back.
