Laws regarding child and booster seat usage vary by state or country, but generally, children are required to be secured in a car seat or booster seat until they reach a certain age, weight, or height. Typically, infants should be in a rear-facing car seat until at least 1 year old and 20 pounds, while toddlers may transition to a forward-facing seat. Booster seats are usually recommended for children who have outgrown their forward-facing car seats until they can properly fit in a seat belt, generally around 4 feet 9 inches tall and between 8 to 12 years of age. It's essential to check local laws for specific requirements and recommendations.

Contact the Department of Motor Vehicles or a local Florida Child Protective Agency. They will have all of the information on the laws for child safety restraints.

They are not only safer than a regular seat belt for children but they will raise them enough to be able to see out the windows and they are very comfortable.
