Booster seats can be high-back or
low-back. Whichever style you select,
make sure the booster meets federal
safety standards (see page
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 the ears are
even with the top of the seat-back. A
child of this height should be tall
enough to use the lap/shoulder belt
without a booster.
When Can a Larger Child Sit in Front
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
44 ) and Canada recommend that all children
ages 12 and under be properly
restrained in the back seat.
Even with advanced front airbags,
the back seat is the safest place for a
child of any age or size.
Protecting Larger Children
If the passenger's front airbag
inflates in a moderate to severe
frontal collision, it can cause serious
injuries to a child who is
unrestrained, improperly restrained,
sitting too close to the airbag, or out
of position.
The side airbag also poses risks. If
any part of a larger child's body is in
the path of a deploying side airbag,
the child could receive possibly
serious injuries.
