In Rhode Island, a child can stop using a booster seat when they reach 8 years of age or weigh 80 pounds, whichever comes first. Additionally, children should remain in a booster seat until they can properly fit in a seat belt, which typically occurs when they are between 4 feet 9 inches and 5 feet tall. It's important for parents to ensure the seat belt fits correctly across the child's lap and shoulder for maximum safety.
Children typically no longer need a booster seat in vehicles when they reach a weight of around 80-100 pounds and are at least 4 feet 9 inches tall.
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
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.
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.
