No - wrong. Any child that size is too small to be anatomically protected by a standard auto seat belt.
The child's size is the factor here. If the seatbelt comes across their body like it does for you, then they do not need a booster seat. Sometimes, the child's weight is a factor, too. They should be at least 90 pounds in weight before they are allowed out of the booster seat.
In general, the law requires any child under 80 pounds and 4 foot be placed in a booster seat or a child safety car seat. There are devices for older children that make the seatbelt safer by placing the seatbelt in an appropriate position over the shoulder.
The Safeguard Go is a child's hybrid car seat and booster seat in one. It has a 5 point harness to hold the child, up to 60 pounds. When the child outgrows the harness, they can use the booster with a regular lap seat belt up to 100 pounds of weight.
In Virginia, a child must be at least 8 years old or weigh at least 4.5 pounds to use a booster seat. However, it is recommended that children remain in a booster seat until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall, regardless of age, to ensure proper seatbelt fit. Parents should always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for specific booster seat requirements.
sixty pounds to not sit in a booster seat
Children should transition from a booster seat to a regular seat in a vehicle when they reach the height of 4 feet 9 inches, typically around 8-12 years old, or when they weigh around 80-100 pounds.
