FORD 2003 Mustang v.4 - Manual (Page 85)

Booster seats should be used until you can answer
YES to ALL of these questions:
• Can the child sit all
the way back against
the vehicle seat back
with knees bent
comfortably at the
edge of the seat
without slouching?
• Does the lap belt rest low across the hips?
• Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and
chest?
• Can the child stay seated like this for the whole
trip?
Types of booster seats
There are two types of belt-positioning booster seats:
• Those that are
backless.
If your backless
booster seat has a
removable shield,
remove the shield
and use the
lap/shoulder belt. If a
seating position has a low seat back and no head
restraint, a backless booster seat may place your
child’s head (top of ear level) above the top of the
seat. In this case, move the backless booster to
another seating position with a higher seat back
and lap/shoulder belts.
• Those with a high
back.
If, with a backless
booster seat, you
cannot find a seating
position that
adequately supports
your child’s head, a
high back booster seat would be a better choice.
