	National Safety Belt Coalition Child Safety Seats
		Many safety experts believe that between 80 percent to 90 percent of child safety seats are installed and/or used incorrectly.
		These seats are used as a transition to safety belts by older kids who have clearly outgrown their convertible seat and are not quite ready for the vehicle belt system.

		In this case, a child who can no longer fit in a front-facing child safety seat but doesn't yet fit the vehicle's safety belts properly on his own is best off sitting up front in a booster seat, using the vehicle's lap-shoulder belt.
