Booster seats provide a safe transition to the vehicle belts for children over 40 pounds. Although these children have outgrown a convertible seat, most are not big enough to keep the lap belt low on their hips. Belts that ride up on the tummy can be dangerous. If your vehicle has only lap belts, you should use a booster with a shield. The shoulder belt gives added protection for the head and upper body.
Every child has the right to be as safe as possible in a car.
Every person who drives with children is responsible for their safety. Using a car seat correctly makes a big difference. Protect your precious cargo, and make every ride a safe ride. Never hold a child in your lap while riding in either the front or back seat. Select the right safety seat for your child's weight and height.
