FAQ
Some insurance companies replace your car seat if you're in an accident. In some states like California and Illinois, insurance companies are even required to replace child safety seats in crashes.
In the United States, the general guideline is that a child can stop using a booster seat when they reach: Age: Typically around 8 to 12 years old, depending on the state laws and the child's size. Height: At least 4 feet 9 inches (57 inches) tall. Weight: Generally, children should weigh at least 80 pounds.
Child Car Seats Age LimitWeight / Height Limit Infant Seat Newborn to 1 yr. Less than 1 yr. Up to 20 lbs. 20-35 lbs. Toddler Seat 1-3 years 20-40 lbs Booster Seat From 4 years to at least 8 years Between 40-80 lbs; Under 4'9” tall Safety Belt 8+ years Taller than 4'9”
And remember, forward-facing car seats all go to a minimum of 40 pounds so don't consider moving your child to a booster seat until they are at least 40 pounds or more.
Georgia law requires that all children under the age of 8 whose height is less than 4'9" (57 inches) are required to be in either a car seat or a booster seat suitable for their age, height and weight and must ride in the backseat of a vehicle.
Children under the age of 8 are required to be in either a car seat or a booster seat suitable for their age and height.
For a first conviction under O.C.G.A. § 40-8-76, the defendant shall be fined not more than $50, except where the child is six (6) or seven (7) years old and where the defendant can show that, prior to court, he or she has installed a car seat meeting the requirements of the law.
(a)No new private passenger automobile manufactured after January 1, 1964, shall be sold to the general public in this state unless such automobile shall be equipped with two sets of safety belts for the front seat thereof.
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.
