If yours isn't on the list, that's fine. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety posted a list of Best Bets, Good Bets, Not Recommended, and Other on their website, here.

Just be sure that while your child is in his/her booster seat, the seat belt goes across their thighs, NOT their tummy, and the strap crosses their shoulder at the joint. Too high and it's irritating to the child, who eventually wiggles out of it. Too low and the child could fly out in the case of a car accident.
