  • Page 12 WHEN IS A CHILD READY TO TRANSITION TO A BOOSTER SEAT? Slouching is dangerous as it puts the lap belt on the soft belly which injures the abdominal organs and spinal cord. Boosters also have design features that help the lap belt start and stay on the lap during a crash.
  • Page 13 WHEN IS A CHILD READY TO TRANSITION TO A BOOSTER SEAT? Does your child meet all of the requirements above to use this booster, but also still fits in their old car seat? Many parents can be unsure about which seat to use. If you use their forward-facing car seat, make sure you always use the tether strap on that forward-facing car seat.
  • Page 14: When Is A Child Ready To Ride Without This Booster Seat
