Note: The child seat must rest tightly
against the vehicle seat upon which it is
installed. It may be necessary to lift or
remove the head restraint. See Head
Restraints
(page 112).

BOOSTER SEATS

WARNING

Never place, or allow a child to place,
the shoulder belt under a child's arm
or behind the back because it

reduces the protection for the upper part
of the body and may increase the risk of
injury or death in a crash.

Use a belt-positioning booster seat for
children who have outgrown or no longer
properly fit in a child safety seat (generally
children who are less than 4 feet 9 inches
(1.45 meters) tall, are greater than age four
(4) and less than age twelve (12), and
between 40 pounds (18 kilograms) and
80 pounds (36 kilograms) and upward to
100 pounds (45 kilograms) if
recommended by your child restraint
manufacturer). Many state and provincial
laws require that 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).

Booster seats should be used until you can
answer YES to ALL of these questions
when seated without a booster seat:

E142595

Can the child sit all the way back
against their vehicle seat back 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.
