Protecting Children

Using a Booster Seat

If a child needs a booster seat, we
recommend choosing a style that
allows the child to use the lap/
shoulder belt directly, without a
shield, as shown.

Whichever style you select, follow

the booster seat maker's instructions.

A child may continue using a booster

seat until the tops of the ears are
even with the top of the seat-back. A

child of this height should be tall
enough to use the lap/shoulder belt

without a booster.

When Can a Larger Child Sit in Front

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport

Canada recommend that all children

ages 12 and under be properly
restrained in a back seat.

The back seat is the safest place for

a child of any age or size.

In addition, the passenger's airbag
poses serious risks to children. If the
seat is too far forward, or the child's

head is thrown forward during a
collision, or the child is unrestrained
or out of position, an inflating airbag
can kill or seriously injure the child.

Of course, children vary widely. And

while age may be one indicator of
when a child can safely ride in the
front, there are other important
factors you should consider.
