Child Restraints

Older Children

Older children who have outgrown

booster seats should wear the

vehicle’s safety belts.

The manufacturer’s instructions that

come with the booster seat, state

the weight and height limitations for

that booster. Use a booster seat

with a lap-shoulder belt until

the child passes the below ﬁt test:

• Sit all the way back on the

seat. Do the knees bend at the

seat edge? If yes, continue.

If no, return to the booster seat.

• Buckle the lap-shoulder belt.

Does the shoulder belt rest on the

shoulder? If yes, continue. If no,

try using the rear safety belt

comfort guide. See “Rear Safety

Belt Comfort Guides” under

Lap-Shoulder Belt on page 1-18

for more information. If the

shoulder belt still does not rest on

the shoulder, then return to the

booster seat.

• Does the lap belt ﬁt low and snug

on the hips, touching the thighs?

If yes, continue. If no, return to the

booster seat.

• Can proper safety belt ﬁt be

maintained for the length of the

trip? If yes, continue. If no, return

to the booster seat.

Q: What is the proper way to

wear safety belts?

A: An older child should wear a

lap-shoulder belt and get the

additional restraint a shoulder

belt can provide. The shoulder

belt should not cross the face or

neck. The lap belt should ﬁt

snugly below the hips, just

touching the top of the thighs.

This applies belt force to

the child’s pelvic bones in a

crash. It should never be worn

over the abdomen, which

could cause severe or even fatal

internal injuries in a crash.
