If you are in the UK the answer is yes, as he needs to be over 1m 45 cm in height. This is now law. Halfords and Toys r Us etc all have height charts to check.

As from this september the law is changing the rules of children and car booster seats. The age of the child now has nothing to do with them having a seat or not, it all depends on the hight and also the waight of the child. its best to look up the new law that is in place but i would say yes he still needs a booster seat as i think the law states that any child under 150cm tall should use a seat.

a new law is coming in which states that kids up to the age of 12 have to have a booster seat because seat belts are designed for larger adults. most places like halfords have new ranges of the seats in now ready for when the law comes into effect, but im not 100% when that is

You need to check this out with the police as to whether the criteria is age or height. I would think it would be age because you see many adults who are very short driving around and who if it was height would need a booster seat. Good question.

You should check the laws governing your state. Most places go by weight and age, not height. Some of my aunts were only 4 ft. tall and they did not have to have a booster seat.

Actually the new law states that if anyone is under 4ft 10inches, and i think, under 12 years old, they must have a booster seat to be safe - you can get them anywhere and it is better to be safe than sorry.

I dont think he does as it is up to 135cm. Oh maybe he should just stay in it till hes another cm tall.
The law came into force from this month.
