FAQ
As with high-back booster seats, children must be at least 38 inches tall and 40 pounds to use a backless booster seat. You should not transition your child to a backless booster seat until they are at least 4 years old to ensure they meet not only the physical requirements but also the appropriate level of maturity.
In Utah, children up to age 8 must be in an appropriate child safety seat or a booster when traveling in a passenger vehicle. The only exception to that law is that children younger than 8 are not required to be in a booster seat if they are at least 57 inches tall.
Older kids get weighed and measured less often than babies, so check your child's growth a few times a year. Generally, kids need to use a booster until they are about 4′ 9″ tall and weigh between 80 and 100 pounds.
4 – 7 Years. Keep your child in a forward-facing car seat with a harness and tether until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the forward-facing car seat with a harness, it's time to travel in a booster seat, but still in the back seat.
Guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2011 recommend that kids use a booster seat until they are at least 4'9'' tall (57 inches) and weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. This will likely be around the ages of 8-12 years. But it's the physical dimensions that matter most.
Children should stay in a booster seat until adult seat belts fit correctly, typically when children reach about 4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 to 12 years of age.
The Law: All vehicle occupants must wear seat belts and children ages 8 and younger must be properly restrained in a car seat or booster seat. Remember, seat belts save lives. If you or anyone in your vehicle aren't properly restrained, you can be issued a $45 citation.
Using backless boosters for your kid is still much safer than not putting him in a booster at all. There are also valid reasons why parents may prefer backless booster seats. They are usually more affordable than high-back boosters. They are also easier to transport and move from one car to another.
Most states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico require booster seats or other appropriate devices for children who have outgrown their child safety seats but are still too small to use an adult seat belt safely.
There is no specific age when a child should switch from a car seat to a booster seat. A child is ready for a booster seat when they have outgrown the height or weight limit of their 5-point harness car seat. Kids are generally between the ages of 5-9 when they begin to outgrow these limitations.
