A Child Restraint That Grows With The Child
under the seat, as the protection of the child
is offered by the vehicle belt directly. LATCH
connectors should be used in booster mode
in order to keep the child restraint firm and
stable on the vehicle seat.
Booster seats are for kids who are too big
for their child restraint and too small to fit
properly in a seat belt. Booster seats help the
child's body fit properly on the vehicle seat.
Booster seats make the seat belt start and stay
on the correct bony parts of the child's body.
It isn't a coincidence that boosters make kids
taller. By raising the child up, boosters help
the shoulder belt fit properly between the
shoulder and the neck. By raising the child up
and giving the child a shorter seat pan, the
child's knees can now bend at the edge of
the booster. This makes kids much less likely
to slouch. Slouching is dangerous as it puts
the lap belt on the soft belly which injures the
abdominal organs and spinal cord.
Before transitioning from a child restraint to a
booster seat, a child must meet ALL of these
requirements:
• at least 4 years old
• at least 18 kg (40 pounds)
• at least 99 cm (39 inches) tall
• able to sit properly in this booster
seat during the entire vehicle 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 snugly 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 child restraint. The child restraint's
integrated 5-point harness will keep them
safe and won't let them slouch or lean
over.
Does your child meet all of the
requirements above to use this booster,
but also still fits in their old child restraint.
Many parents can be unsure about which
seat to use. If you use their forward-facing
child restraint, make sure you always use
the tether strap on that forward-facing
child restraint. If you have a vehicle that
does not have a tether anchor, a booster
seat may provide better head and neck
protection than a forward-facing child
restraint that isn't tethered.
