NO - it doesn't matter what state you are in, a booster seat is for use by kids over 40 pounds and must be used until they are 4 foot 9 inches tall.
Booster seat laws vary by state - some states do require booster seats and some states are lagging behind in making booster seats required. There is no difference in age/weight/height requirements.

I believe no matter in what state it is, cuz its more about the childs safety, they should still be in a convertible safety seat until they are at least 40 lbs. After that usually a booster seat will fit most children just fine. You wanna make sure that the seat belt is positioned in the correct place when using a booster seat. If its not they may still need a belt positioning seat.

even if it truly is too tight it truly is time to get a sparkling vehicle seat, in case you stay in a cold climate like I do initiating off the jacket isn't an decision-it will be too chilly. check out the burden and top requirement for some seats that he will extra healthful conveniently in. We were able to purchase my daughter a vehicle seat that has the harness straps and could change right into a booster after she outgrows the harness straps. the burden requirement replaced into 20 lbs and 32 inches. this can extra healthful her for a lengthy time period, then she will bypass into the booster seat at the same time as she reaches that weight requirement that's 40 4 lbs.

NO BOOSTER!! It's not just about weight, but about the strength of their spines. Keep you child in a car seat for as long as you possibly can! My state it is 4 y.o. and 40lbs for a booster seat, which is what my pediatrician recommends as well.

This child should be in a safety seat. He's too small to properly fit a booster seat.

It depends on the booster. Check their various height/weight requirements. I have a feeling that 27 pounds is probably going to be too light, however.

That is correct. Up to 40 lbs. should still be in a car seat.
