Children are not ready to ride safely in
a vehicle seat belt without a booster
seat, if they are putting the shoulder
belt behind their back or under their
arm. If a child is allowed to ride this
way, the child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a crash. This practice
is also illegal.
Children typically enjoy the benefits
of a booster seat. Their new "big girl/
boy" seat allows them to ride comfort-
ably and see out of the car window
with ease.
Secure your child in a booster seat
until he or she is big enough to fit into
a vehicle lap and shoulder seat belt.
Typically children who are at least
4 feet 9 inches in height and are
between eight and twelve years of
age, may be ready to safely use a
vehicle seat belt system without a
booster seat.

Before placing a child in a vehicle seat
belt without a booster, check to be
sure the child fits the vehicle seat belt
correctly.
Is the child able to:
o keep his/her back against the
vehicle seat cushion
o completely bend knees over
the edge of the seat cushion
and keep feet flat on the floor
without slouching or scooting
forward
o keep the lap portion of the
seat belt low and snug across
his/her hips and upper thighs
o keep the shoulder portion of
the seat belt snug across his/
her chest and rest midway
between the shoulder and
neck
o stay seated this way through
out the entire trip
