WHEN IS A CHILD READY
TO TRANSITION TO A BOOSTER SEAT?
which injures the abdominal organs and spinal cord. Boosters
also have design features that help the lap belt start and stay on
the lap during a crash. Many boosters use arm rests to do this.
Make sure if your booster has arm rests, that the lap belt always
goes under both arm rests.
A child must meet ALL of these requirements before they can
ride in this booster seat:
• at least 4 years old (highback mode) / at least 5 years old
(backless mode)
• at least 40 pounds
• at least 39 inches tall
• able to sit properly in this booster seat during the entire car ride
- no slouching, no playing with the seat belt, no putting the seat
belt under the arm or behind the back, no leaning over, etc.
Most children can not sit properly in a booster seat until at least
age 5. Sitting properly is what makes sure the seat belt fits snug
and rests on the proper bony parts of the body. If the child is
not mature enough for a booster, they need to ride in a car seat.
The car seat's 5-point-harness will keep them safe and won't let
them slouch or lean over.
