Older Child ren and Child Restrain ts
Child ren Too Large For Booster Seats
Child ren who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are
older than one year can rid e forw ard -facing in the
vehicle. Forw ard -facing child seats and convertible child
seats used in the forw ard -facing direction are for child ren
who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older
than one year. These child seats are also held in the
vehicle by the lap/ shou lder belt or the LATCH child
restraint anchorage system . Refer to “Low er Anchors and
Tether for CHildren (LATCH)” later in this section.
Child ren who are large enou gh to wear the shou lder belt
comfortably, and whose legs are long enou gh to bend
over the front of the seat when their back is against the 2
seatback, shou ld use the lap/ shou lder belt in a rear seat.
•
• Theas possible.lap portion shou ld be low on the hip s and as snu g
Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.
•

Check belt fit period ically. A child ’s squ irm ing or
slou ching can move the belt out of position.
The belt-p ositioning booster seat is for child ren weighing
more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit
the vehicle’s seat belts prop erly. If the child cannot sit
with knees bent over the vehicle’s cushion while the
child ’s back is against the seatback, then the child shou ld
use a Belt Positioning Booster Seat. The child and booster
seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/ shou lder belt.
(Some booster seats are equ ipped with a front shield and
are held in the vehicle by the lap portion.)
If the shou lder belt contacts the face or neck, move the
child closer to the center of the vehicle. If this doesn’t
help , move the child to the center rear seating position
and use the lap belt. Never allow a child to put the
shou lder belt und er an arm or behind their back.
