Never Use a Vehicle
Lap-Only Belt Across
Front of Child
• Never use a vehicle lap-only belt across front of
child.
• DO NOT position vehicle shoulder belt under the
child's arm or back.
• DO NOT allow child to slouch or slide down in the
booster seat.
• DO NOT position vehicle belt over top of armrests.
• Vehicle's seat headrest SHOULD NOT create a gap
between vehicle seat and booster seat.
• The front of booster seat MUST NOT hang over
front of vehicle seat.
• If child will not keep vehicle belt properly
positioned, DO NOT use this booster seat. Use a
different car seat.
• When forward-facing, children should use the
built-in harness system for as long as possible until
they reach the maximum forward-facing weight
or height for their car seat. At that point, children
should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat. A
booster is no longer needed once the vehicle seat
belt fits properly, typically when they reach 4 feet
9 inches tall and are between ages 8-12. Be sure
to check your local and state laws, as well as AAP
and NHTSA recommendations, for car seat usage.
