Your daughter is 6 years old, 46 inches tall and 50 pounds. She has outgrown the height limit of her forward-facing harness seat. How must she ride in your car, which has a back seat?
Rear-facing, forward-facing harness and booster restraints appear side by side. The card identifies a 6-year-old child who is 46 inches tall, weighs 50 pounds and has outgrown the harness seat.
Correct answer: In a booster seat used with the lap-and-shoulder belt, in the back seat.
Why
A booster raises the child so the adult belt fits: the lap part low across the hips and the shoulder part over the collarbone and chest, away from the neck. Without it, the belt sits across a small child's stomach and neck. The booster stage lasts until the child turns 8 or reaches 57 inches, and children under 8 ride in a rear seat when the car has one.
