There is no set age when a child should transition to a booster seat, as every child grows at a different rate. Experts generally recommend keeping a child in a forward-facing car seat with a 5-point harness until they have fully outgrown it, as this provides the best protection. However, common guidelines suggest that a child is ready for a booster seat when they are at least 4 years old, 40 pounds, and 40 inches tall. Proper seat belt fit is also crucial—when seated in a booster, the lap belt should rest low on the hips or upper thighs, and the shoulder belt should cross the middle of the shoulder, not the neck. Additionally, if a child is particularly active or struggles to sit properly in a booster, it may be safer to keep them in a forward-facing harnessed seat until they are more mature. Always follow the specific height and weight limits of your booster seat for the safest transition. /* info (hed, dek, source, credit) */ .rg-container { font-family: 'Lato', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0; padding: 1em 0.5em; color: #222; } .rg-header { margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left; } .rg-header > * { display: block; } .rg-hed { font-weight: bold; font-size: 1.4em; } .rg-dek { font-size: 1em; } .rg-source { margin: 0; font-size: 0.75em; text-align: right; } .rg-source .pre-colon { text-transform: uppercase; } .rg-source .post-colon { font-weight: bold; } /* table */ table.rg-table { width: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.5em; font-size: 1em; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0; } table.rg-table tr { -moz-box-sizing: border-box; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; font-size: 100%; font: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text
