FAQ
(California Vehicle Code Section 27360.) Children under the age of 8 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat in the back seat. Children who are 8 years of age OR have reached 4'9” in height may be secured by a booster seat, but at a minimum must be secured by a safety belt.
Here are some things that will help you determine whether your child is ready for a backless booster: Age: 5 to 6 years old. Weight: at least 40 pounds. Height: 38 to 43 inches.
Texas law requires that all children younger than eight years old, unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches, be secured in a child safety seat whenever they ride in a vehicle. Older children who have outgrown a booster seat must be buckled with a seat belt.
Children who are more than 4 years old but less than 8 years old, weigh more than 20 lbs but less than 65 lbs, and are less than 57 inches tall must ride in a properly secured booster seat or another federally approved child passenger restraint system.
Booster Seat Ride in a booster until 4'9” tall or are at least 8 years old or weigh 80 pounds. Use a backless booster seat with lap and shoulder belt combination. The backless booster must be used with good head support behind the child.
Booster Seat 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. 8 – 12 Years. Keep your child in a booster seat until he or she is big enough to fit in a seat belt properly.
What Are Texas' Booster Seat Requirements? Texas requires that child safety seats are used based on manufacturer recommendations. NHTSA recommends that booster seats be used in the back seat from ages 4 to 8 and when the child weighs over 40 pounds unless the child is 4 feet 9 inches or taller.
Definitely don't put your 3 and 4 year olds in backless boosters. Their bodies are not ready and not strong enough. If you get into an accident, being in a real carseat could save their life; being in a booster, especially with no back, could mean their death by neck or spinal injury or by abdominal injury.
They should be at least 40 inches tall. They should be at least 4 years old.
That's not legal or safe. There's no booster that allows kids under 40 lbs and the bare minimum age is 4yo and most kids aren't remotely mature enough at 4 for a regular booster let alone a backless one. It's not worth the risk.
