Stage Three: Booster Seat |
|
When
|
Use a booster seat from 18 kg (40 lb.), generally from about age 4 1/2 to
8 years. |
|
Children are ready to use a booster seat when they are over the maximum weight or height for their child seat
— but no sooner than this! Check the instruction booklet of your booster seat for additional information. |
| |
|
Why
|
For this age group, booster seats are the safest way to position a seat belt correctly over a child’s body. An incorrectly positioned seat belt can cause a child to be seriously injured or even killed in a sudden stop or collision. |
|
|
| Instructions |
Place the booster seat in the rear seat of the vehicle — in the "Kid Zone."
Using the vehicle seat belt, buckle your child in properly, with the lap belt low and snug over the hips and the shoulder belt across the chest.
