How can I prevent my child from falling out of his booster seat?

If your child starts to fall out of the booster seat when they are sleeping, you particularly want to lock the belt on them, or you may need to take other steps, such as some of the booster seats with backs have better support than others. Sometimes there are other techniques that one can use to help the child sit up straight in their booster seat. If there is a slight recline in the vehicle seat that's all right but in the vehicle every passenger and driver should be sitting up straight so the force of the crash is taken evenly on the shoulder and the lower body. Reclining in the car is not good for anyone.
