Children and booster seats vary in size and shape. Choose a booster that

keeps the lap belt low and snug across the hips, never up across the

stomach, and lets you adjust the shoulder belt to cross the chest and

rest snugly near the center of the shoulder. The drawings below compare

the ideal fit (center) to a shoulder belt uncomfortably close to the neck

and a shoulder belt that could slip off the shoulder. The drawings below

also show how the lap belt should be low and snug across the child’s

hips.

If the booster seat slides on the vehicle seat, placing a rubberized mesh

sold as shelf or carpet liner under the booster seat may improve this

condition. Do not introduce any item thicker than this under the booster

seat. Check with the booster seat manufacturer’s instructions.

The importance of shoulder belts

Using a booster without a shoulder belt increases the risk of a child’s

head hitting a hard surface in a collision. For this reason, you should

never use a booster seat with a lap belt only. It is generally best to use a

booster seat with lap/shoulder belts in the back seat.
