From Booster To Seat Belt

(HealthDayNews) -- How do you know when your child can move out of a booster seat and into a seat belt?

According to the Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto, your child is ready when:

• He or she reaches the weight or height limit of your booster seat, or when the middle of your child's ears is above the back of the vehicle seat, head restraint or booster seat.
• Your child can sit with his back against the vehicle seat with legs bent over the front edge of the seat.
• The lap belt fits across your child's upper thighs and the shoulder belt fits between the child's neck and arm.
