FAQ
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.
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.

As far as national guidelines go, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a child ride in a booster seat until they hit the magical height of 4-foot-nine-inches and the adult seat belt ``fits correctly.'' They add that this can be anywhere between age 8 and 12.
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.
