  2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably at the edge of the auto seat?
  3. Is the lap belt on the tops of the thighs?
  4. Is the shoulder belt centered on the shoulder and chest?
  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. Riding in a booster is more comfortable, too!
