Child Safety Booster Seats and Safety Belts for Children

Booster seats that meet federal motor vehicle safety standards should be used for children who have outgrown their standard safety seats until they are big enough for seat belts. Adult safety belts should not be used for children until they are big enough for the seat belt to fit correctly. The lap safety belt must fit snuggly across the child's hips, not across the stomach. The shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt must fall across the shoulder and chest, not across the face or throat. For shoulder belts that do not fit, belt-positioning booster seats designed to raise a child up for proper fit of the lap and shoulder belt are readily available.
