The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing

more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit

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 seatback, 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

seatback 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 possible.

• Check belt fit 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.

actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
