Why Booster Seats?
• A 40-pound child is not big enough to fit lap and shoulder belts properly. • The adult lap and shoulder belt normally does not fit a child until he is about 4’9″ tall – about 8-12 years old. • A lap belt that rides up on your child’s stomach or abdomen could cause serious injury. • Many young children do not sit still or straight enough to keep lap belts low across their thighs. • Booster seats are comfortable for children because they allow their legs to bend normally. This also reduces slouching, one cause of poor lap belt fit. • Children who reach 40 pounds before age 3 may not be mature enough to stay seated properly in a belt-positioning booster. A vest that uses the belt system and a tether strap would be an option in this situation. For more information about this product contact EZ On Products at 1-800-323-6598.
