Answer these five questions to find out if your child still requires an automobile booster seat.

  1. Does the child sit all the way back against the auto seat?
  2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably at the edge of the auto seat?
  3. Does the belt cross the shoulder between the neck and arm?
  4. Is the lap belt as low as possible, touching the thighs?
  5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

If you answered “No” to any of these questions, your child needs a booster seat to ride safely in the car.
