Generally, kids need to use a booster until they are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall and weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. For most kids, they will be between ages 8 to 12 years old. Talk with everyone who drives your kids so they understand that booster seat use is a must when your child is in their vehicles.
But as a child ages, the seat transitions to a belt-positioning booster seat: The seat's built-in harness can be removed and the vehicle's safety belts secure the child. A toddler booster should not be used too soonâchildren are safest riding in a rear-facing orientation through 2 years old, at least. After that time, a child can safely face forward in either a forward-facing convertible or toddler booster seat.
