This is opinion and should be treated as such:

You must check with each state, as the law varies from state to state. Check with the dept of motor vehicles or the local police/fire dept. I believe the minimum age in most states is 6 years old. Of course, that is for booster seats. My children started using booster seats at about age three. In my opinion, it is best to judge by the child's weight, not age, and choose a safety seat made for the weight of the child. I believe it has been recommended by safety experts that a child should be in a booster until a normal seat belt sits on them appropriately, about age 8. Of course, you should always follow the laws of the state in which you are driving and keep the child in a safety seat until they are past that age. Good Luck!

To properly secure your child in a car seat, make sure the harness straps are snug and positioned at or below their shoulders. The chest clip should be at armpit level.
