HONDA 2004 Odyssey - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 54)

A child who has outgrown a forward-
facing child seat should ride in a
back seat and use a booster seat
until the lap/shoulder belt fits them
properly without the booster.
Some states also require children to
use a booster until they reach a
given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or
60 lbs). Be sure to check current
laws in the state or states where you
intend to drive.
Booster seats can be high-back or
low-back. Whichever style you select,
make sure the booster meets federal
safety standards (see page
) and
that you follow the booster seat
maker’s instructions.
If a child who uses a booster must
ride in front, move the vehicle seat
as far to the rear as possible, and be
sure the child is wearing the seat
belt properly.
A child may continue using a booster
seat until the tops of their ears are
even with the top of the vehicle’s or
booster’s seat-back. A child of this
height should be tall enough to use
the lap/shoulder belt without a
booster.
We strongly recommend that a child
who used a booster ride in a back
seat, not the front. Even if the
passenger’s front airbag is off, a
back seat is the safest place for the
child.
Even then, the child may still need to
use a booster seat. Note that some
states now require children to use
boosters until they reach a certain
age and/or weight. Be sure to check
current laws in the state or states
where you intend to drive.
