Boosters Are For Big Kids |
Most kids need to ride in a booster seat from about age 6 until age 10-12. |
If your child isn’t using a booster, try the simple test below the next time you ride together in the car. You may find that your child is not yet ready to use a safety belt without a booster. |

The 5-Step Test.
1. Does the child sit all
the way back against the auto seat?
|
If you answered "no" to any of these questions, your child needs a booster seat to make both the shoulder belt and the lap belt fit right for the best crash protection. Your child will be more comfortable, too! |
For best protection, all children should ride in the back seat until they are ready to drive. It's twice as safe as the front seat.
