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.
The high back booster must be used if your vehicle's seat backs are too low, to prevent the head from whipping back in a crash. Please remember to keep your kids in a booster until they are 4' 9. Age and weight aren't as important as height when making the decision to ditch the booster. By 4' 9, the adult seat belt will fit most kids properly.
