Your child (and you!) are likely pros at how to ride safely in a booster seat by now! As a reminder, the vehicle seat belt has to be positioned properly to best protect your big kid in a crash. 

To ensure your kiddo is riding as safely as possible in their no-back booster: 

✔️Ensure child’s booster is placed in a vehicle seating position where there is a headrest. 

✔️Child must sit upright with their bum all the way back.

✔️Ensure the shoulder belt lies diagonally across the child's chest.

✔️Make sure the lap belt is flat and snug across their thighs.

✔️Double-check that the seat belt is routed properly (most commonly under the armrest).

✔️Child’s ears must be below the top of vehicle headrest.

✔️When the booster isn't in use, secure it to avoid it becoming a projectile, or use the lower anchor connectors if it has them.

‍You’re in the big kid stage of car seat safety now. Your child’s body was always in the proper position in a harness seat because they didn’t have a choice! In booster mode, it’s your child’s responsibility to keep their body in the proper position! It’s a big deal, and why we recommend maxing out the harness seat before moving to this stage. The vehicle seat belt must be properly positioned to protect your big kid in a crash. 

To ensure your kiddo is riding as safely as possible in their high back booster: 

✔️Child must sit upright with their bum all the way back.

✔️Guide the shoulder belt through the shoulder belt guide.

✔️Ensure the shoulder belt lies diagonally across the child's chest.

✔️Make sure the lap belt is flat and snug across their thighs.

✔️Double-check that the seat belt is routed properly (most commonly under the armrest)

✔️Watch out to prevent the shoulder belt from getting stuck in the guide.

✔️When the booster isn't in use, secure it to avoid it becoming a projectile, or use the lower anchor connectors if it has them.

While you’re shopping this stage to keep your forward-facing kiddo in a harness, these seats transition to booster mode as well. Your child’s body will always be in the proper position in a harness seat because they don’t have a choice! In booster mode, it’s your child’s responsibility to keep their body in the proper position! It’s a big deal, and why we recommend maxing out the harness seat before graduating your child from the harness to booster mode.
