FAQ
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all kids remain in a booster until they are 57 inches (4' 9'') tall, typically this occurs when kids are between 10-12 years old. In fact, my exceptionally tall 8-year-old still misses the cut off by several inches.
Your child can move to a booster seat by 4 years of age, or once they exceed 4 feet in height. Booster seats should also be in the back, not the front seat. 8 years and older: Once weight and height requirements for booster seats have been passed, children can sit in the car seats designed for adults.
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. Most children will not fit in a seat belt alone until 10 to 12 years of age.
Children typically transition to a booster seat when they outgrow their forward-facing car seat, which is usually around 4 to 7 years old. However, the specific age can vary based on the child's size and the laws in your area.
If a child restraint is not available, children under 3 years must travel in the rear, but may be unrestrained. Children 3 years and over, up to 135cm tall must sit in the rear and use an adult seat belt. Children aged 12 years or more, or over 135cm tall, may travel the front, but must wear the seat belt.
Narrator: As your children grow from toddlers to school aged, the way you keep them safe in your car changes as well. Research shows securing your four to eight year old kids in belt positioning booster seats with both lap and shoulder seat belts, instead of seat belts alone, reduces the risk of serious injury by half.
What the law states. In the UK the law states that children aged 3-12 years old or up to 135cm tall must sit in a booster seat in the front or back of the car. The car seat must be suitable for their age and height and they must be wearing a seat belt.
Children weighing more than 22kg or taller than 125cm can use a backless booster seat. Children of 12 years old or taller than 135cm do not need to use a child seat. Before this age or height they must do by law.
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.
