Just because the law says your child can ride in a seatbelt doesn't mean that they're ready!

Children should be able to pass the seat belt test before riding without a booster in a vehicle.

So what is "The Seat Belt Test?" 🚗

Your child may be ready to ride without a booster when all of these things are true:

1. Back against the seat — Their back rests comfortably against the vehicle seat.
2. Knees bend at the edge — Their knees bend naturally at the edge of the seat without slouching.
3. Feet on the floor — Their feet can touch the vehicle floor.
4. Lap belt is low — The lap belt lies snugly across the upper thighs, not the stomach.
5. Shoulder belt fits properly — The shoulder belt crosses the middle of the chest and shoulder, not the neck or face.

6. And the biggest test: Can they stay in this position for the entire ride?

If not, they're still safer in a booster seat.

Many booster seats have weight limits of 100+ pounds and height limits of 57" giving most children years of time riding safer in a booster seat with proper seat belt fit to protect them in the event of a crash.
