Important Booster Seat Information
In Canada booster seats are for use by older children who are at least 18 kg (40 lb). A smaller child is always safer and more secure in a child seat with a harness. Children put into a booster seat too soon may be ejected and badly injured in a crash. There has been concern in the United States with this problem because at present they allow children in boosters when they are only 30 lb (13.6 kg), although NHTSA recommends that children do not move into a booster until they are at least 40 lb.
