the weight to sit in a booster seat is...40 pounds AND the age of 4 years, BUT preferably the child is longer.
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.
I heard it was supposed to be by weight, not by height, but what do i know.....when they outgrow the carseat
The AAP instructs to go by height, not weight now (2010) -- a minimum height for a child's no longer needing a booster seat is four feet, nine inches. 4'9."
a child can be at leaset 6 to 8 years of age it really doesnt depond on height or weight
it should be aroung 6 years old
The age that a child should use a car seat booster is when they are 2 years of age. Some kids need to use them a little bit earlier because weight and height has an effect on how earlier the kids need to use the booster seat.
in all states a child has to be 4foot nine to be out of a booster seat. they can be in a booster sear at any age.
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.
The Booster offers safe, comfortable rides for someones child. Moving from a car seat to a booster seat still helps the child remain safe, while riding comfortably in the booster seat.
4 The answer is NOT based on age but on the height and weight of your child. If your child is over 40lbs he/she can transition to a booster seat with lap/ shoulder restraint.
I believe the answer is 4'9". There is also a weight limit if your child is on the shorter side. If your child does not meed either requirement, then you have to use a booster seat.
