• B. 2,40
• C. 5,40
• D. 4,45

Answer: (C)

Booster seats are used when a child is big enough to outgrow a forward-facing harness but not tall enough for the adult seat belt to fit properly. The goal is to position the lap belt low on the hips and the shoulder belt across the chest, not across the stomach or neck, so the belt can do its job in a crash. Most boosters have a minimum of about five years old and 40 pounds. At this age and weight, a child can sit upright and stay in position for the entire trip, allowing the belt to sit correctly on the body. If a child is younger than five or lighter than about 40 pounds, a proper harnessed restraint is safer because it better restrains movement and reduces the risk of the belt riding up or sliding off the shoulder. Once the child grows taller (around 4'9" or 57 inches) and reaches older ages, they can transition away from the booster when the belt fits correctly without the aid of a booster.
