When to Put Your Child in a Booster Seat

Booster seats raise the child up and help to position the vehicle lap and shoulder belt correctly. When the child is properly restrained in a booster seat, their risk of injury in all types of crashes is reduced, as the lap and shoulder belt provides excellent restraint of both the upper and lower torsos. It is important for the child to sit properly within the vehicle seat belts. When the vehicle seat belt is buckled, the lap belt should be low on the hips, just touching the thighs, and the shoulder belt should lie across the middle of the shoulder. If the child leans out or moves the belt behind the back or places it under the arm, it will not provide the intended restraint.

There are a number of things to consider when deciding whether the child is ready to sit in a booster seat, including: the weight and height ratings on their current child seat, the child’s own weight and height, their maturity, and the seating positions available in your vehicle.

How is a booster seat used?

Using a booster seat is very similar to buckling yourself into the vehicle:

• Read the instruction manuals for both the booster seat and the vehicle before you start.
• Put the booster in the back seat in a location with a lap and shoulder belt. Never use a booster with only a lap belt, as this could cause serious injuries.
• After the child is in the booster, pull the lap and shoulder belt across him/her and buckle it.
• Check that the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the shoulder and that the lap belt is low on the hips, just touching the thighs.

How can you tell if your child is ready to transition to a booster seat?

You should consider using a booster seat if the following conditions apply:

• The child is mature enough to sit in the booster seat and not put the belts under their arm or behind their back.
• The child is approaching the weight or height limit of the child restraint they are currently using.

• If you have a vehicle that does not have a tether anchorage but has lap/shoulder belts available in the back seat, a booster seat may provide better protection than an internal harness seat without the tether.

  

IMPORTANT: Always secure the booster seat with the vehicle seat belt when not occupied. An unsecured booster seat can fly into and injure other occupants in the event of a crash.

Using the Booster Seat

Child Requirements

• Weight: 18 to 49.8 kg (40 to 110 lbs)
• Height: 110 to 145 cm (43.3 to 57 inches) tall AND the tops of the child’s ears are at, or below, the top of the child restraint headrest.
• Age: At least four years old

IMPORTANT: Always secure the booster seat with the vehicle seat belt when not occupied. An unsecured booster seat can fly into and injure other occupants in the event of a crash.

Booster Installation Checklist

1. Secure booster seat to the vehicle seat. Make sure the bottom and back of the booster seat are touching the vehicle seat and back.

2. Place the child in the booster seat. Make sure the child’s back and bottom are flat against the back and bottom surfaces of the booster seat.

   

3. Secure child and booster seat to vehicle seat.
   • Stretch the lap/shoulder belt across the child and fasten the buckle.
   • The shoulder belt MUST be routed properly (p. 14).
   • Make sure the shoulder and lap belts are threaded under the red lap belt guide.
4. Check your work. Make sure the lap belt is stretched low and snug across the child’s hips, within the belt guides, and fastened into the buckle. The shoulder belt must cross the child midway between his/her shoulder and neck.

WARNING: The shoulder belt MUST NOT cross the child’s neck or fall off the child’s shoulder. If you cannot adjust the shoulder belt to properly lay midway between the child’s shoulder and neck AND at or above the shoulder, try another seating location or do not use the booster seat.

Shoulder belt routing while in booster mode

• While the seat is used in booster mode the shoulder belt must be routed over the child’s shoulder. 

• The belt must pass under the head rest, between the head rest and the seat as long as the child’s shoulders are at or below the opening between the head rest and shell. 

  

• If the child’s shoulders are high enough that routing the shoulder belt under the head rest causes the belt to be pulled down the back side of the child’s shoulder (before passing through the head rest), the belt should not be routed between the seat and the headrest. 

  

• If the shoulder height causes the belt to route behind the back and the top of the ears are still at or below the top of the head rest, the shoulder belt should be routed on top of the head rest.
