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 seat back 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 seat back or
head restraint and lap and shoulder belts, or consider using a high back
booster seat.
