Using a Booster Seat
If a child needs a booster seat, we
recommend choosing a style that
allows the child to use the
lap/shoulder belt directly, without
a shield, as shown.
Whichever style you select,
follow the booster seat maker's
instructions.
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
recommends that all children ages
12 and under be properly
restrained in the back seat.
The back seat is the safest place
for a child of any age or size.
In addition, the passenger's airbag
poses serious risks to children. If
the seat is too far forward, or the
child's head is thrown forward
during a collision, or the child is
unrestrained or out of position, an
inflating airbag can kill or
seriously injure the child.
Of course, children vary widely.
And while age may be one
indicator of when a child can
safely ride in the front, there are
other important factors you should
consider.
