Four foot nine inches is the general height. As a rule of thumb though because different cars have different depth seats.....if the child's knees bend comfortably over the edge of the seat, and (with the child sitting straight up with backside and back all the way back agains the seat) the seat belt fits properly. (across the shoulder and low across the hips) Sometimes kids are at the boarderline height and will need a booster in some vehicles but not others.
You can also contact your local police department for help in determining your options and if the child needs a booster or not.

some States do record a lengthy time period of their criteria for move from one type of motorized vehicle seat to a distinct; yet some have stuck on and all started including if/or statements that contain weight. i understand 40 pounds is the reduce for most "infant" automobile seats, so that you'll ought to flow him quickly besides. They do also make "infant" type automobile seats for higher toddlers, really of the "commonplace" booster seat. this will be a safer selection on your tot, yet could also meet the specs of the regulation when you're in a State or section that doesn't understand "weight" in determining even as to flow a baby. Cheers! At this element, it can be even with is extra comfortable on your son. even even with the undeniable fact that having a back (with lateral helps), and a seat with its own straps, is a safer selection.
