A booster seat (F-G) is a child restraint designed to

improve the ﬁt of the vehicle’s safety belt system. Some

booster seats have a shoulder belt positioner, and

some high-back booster seats have a ﬁve-point harness.

A booster seat can also help a child to see out the

window.

Q: How do child restraints work?

A: A child restraint system is any device designed for

use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position

children. A built-in child restraint system is a

permanent part of the motor vehicle. An add-on

child restraint system is a portable one, which

is purchased by the vehicle’s owner.

For many years, add-on child restraints have used

the adult belt system in the vehicle. To help

reduce the chance of injury, the child also has to be

secured within the restraint. The vehicle’s belt

system secures the add-on child restraint in the

vehicle, and the add-on child restraint’s harness

system holds the child in place within the restraint.

One system, the three-point harness, has straps

that come down over each of the infant’s shoulders

and buckle together at the crotch. The ﬁve-point

harness system has two shoulder straps,

two hip straps and a crotch strap. A shield may

take the place of hip straps. A T-shaped shield has

shoulder straps that are attached to a ﬂat pad

which rests low against the child’s body. A shelf- or

armrest-type shield has straps that are attached

to a wide, shelf-like shield that swings up or to

the side.
