Appendix
A: Major Types of Booster Seats
There are 2 major types of booster seats—high back and no
back—as shown below. A belt positioning booster seat helps
position the child properly in a vehicle’s lap and shoulder
belt and should never be used with a lap belt only.
A high-back booster is recommended if a vehicle has a low seat
back; some models have removable backs.
A booster seat without a back may be used if a child’s head
is supported (up to the top of the ears) by the vehicle seat back
or head restraint.
Note: Booster seats are not certified for aircraft use.
