3. Does the shoulder belt cross
between the child's neck and arm?
4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child's
thighs?
5. Will the child be able to stay
seated like this for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these
questions, the child is ready to wear
the lap/shoulder belt correctly. If
you answer no to any question, the
child needs to ride on a booster seat.

Using a Booster Seat

A child who has outgrown a front
facing child restraint system should
ride in a back seat and use a booster
seat until the lap/shoulder belt fits
them properly without the booster.
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 seat.
For EU countries, refer to page
50 for the booster seat placement.
Booster seats can be high-back or
low-back. Whichever style you select,
make sure the booster seat meets
approved safety standards (see page
47 ) and that you follow the booster
seat maker's instructions.
If a child who uses a booster seat
must ride in front, move the vehicle
seat as far back as possible and be
sure the child is wearing the seat
belt properly.
