Children vary widely. And while age
may be one indicator of when a child
can safely ride in this car, there are
other important factors you should
consider.

Physically, a child must be large
enough for the lap/shoulder belt to
properly fit over the hips, chest, and
shoulder (see pages

and

). If

the seat belt does not fit properly,
the child should use a booster seat.

To safely ride in this car, a child
must be able to follow the rules,
including sitting properly and
wearing the seat belt properly
throughout a ride.

A child should continue using a
booster seat until the child exceeds
the booster seat manufacturer’s
requirements.

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.
