Here are some guidelines to help determine when a child should move from a safety seat to a belt positioning booster seat or a seat belt alone.
- The child has outgrown a convertible child safety seat. (when they reach 40 pounds or 40 inches in height.
- A child who weighs between 40-80 pounds, or a child who is between the ages of 4-8 years and at least 35 inches tall should be restrained in a belt positioning booster seat.
- A child who can’t sit with their back against the vehicle seat back cushion or who can’t sit with their knees over the vehicle seat edge without slouching. A belt- positioning booster is recommended.
- It is always safest to keep your child in a forward-facing child safety seat with a full harness as long as the child fits the seat. Some seat manufacturers are increasing the maximum weight of the harness. Be sure to read the instruction manual for the seat for height and weight specifications.
- If your child is under 4 years old but is too tall for a child safety seat, it would be safer to purchase a seat with a higher backrest. Most children under 4 years of age lack the maturity to stay in a belt- positioning booster.
I hope this helps.

all of the different posters are proper. Your new child is meant to be a minimum of 40 kilos to be in a booster seat, besides the undeniable fact that it relies upon on the carseat rules on your state. the following in Texas a baby ought to be 4 and 40 kilos. in spite of the reality that my son has exceeded both those criteria, i'm no longer putting him in a booster seat for no less than yet another 365 days. I had an analogous concern too very last 365 days, my son replaced into 3 and 35 kilos.. no longer almost sufficiently massive or weigh sufficient for a booster. My son rides in a Graco Nautilus 3 in a million vehicle seat. He loves it and it accomodates as a lot as 60 kilos with the harness.. and 60-one hundred kilos for the severe back/low back booster it truly is going to develop into. This seat i trust I were given the most for my money. This carseat is likewise offered in a red color for the ladies.

All states vary, and some cities have additional ordinances.
Best to check with your state's D.M.V.
