If you answer no to any of these questions, the seatbelt doesn't fit your child correctly and your child should be in a booster seat.

  • Can your child sit comfortably with his or her back against the vehicles' seat back?
  • Do your child's knees bend comfortably at the edge of the vehicle's seat?
  • Is the lap portion of the seatbelt as low as possible, touching the child's thighs?
  • Does the shoulder portion of the seatbelt cross the middle of the shoulder?
  • Can your child stay comfortably seated like this for the whole trip?
