Recommendations for Safety Restraints for Children
Child size, height, weight,
or age Recommended restraint
type
Small
children Children who have outgrown or
no longer properly fit in a child
safety seat (generally children
who are less than 4 ft. 9 in.
(1.45 m) tall, are greater than
age four (4) and less than age
twelve (12), and between 40 lb
(18 kg) and 80 lb (36 kg) and
upward to 100 lb (45 kg) if
recommended by your child
restraint manufacturer). Use a belt-positioning booster
seat.
Larger
children Children who have outgrown or
no longer properly fit in a
belt-positioning booster seat
(generally children who are at
least 4 ft. 9 in. (1.45 m) tall or
greater than 80 lb (36 kg) or
100 lb (45 kg) if recommended
by child restraint manufacturer). Use a vehicle safety belt
having the lap belt snug and
low across the hips, shoulder
belt centered across the
shoulder and chest, and seat
back upright.
• You are required by law to properly use safety seats for infants and
toddlers in the U.S. and Canada.
• Many states and provinces require that small children use approved
booster seats until they reach age eight, a height of 4 feet 9 inches
(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 pounds (36 kilograms). Check your local and
state or provincial laws for specific requirements about the safety of
children in your vehicle.
• When possible, always properly restrain children twelve (12) years of
age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Accident
statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in a front seating position.
See Passenger Airbag ON and OFF Switch in the Supplemental
Restraints System chapter for more information.
