FAQ
Keep your child in each stage for as long as possible. A child is ready for a booster seat when they have outgrown the weight or height limit of their forward-facing harnesses, which is typically between 40 and 65 pounds.
Children who are more than 4 years old but less than 8 years old, weigh more than 20 lbs but less than 65 lbs, and are less than 57 inches tall must ride in a properly secured booster seat or another federally approved child passenger restraint system.
That's not legal or safe. There's no booster that allows kids under 40 lbs and the bare minimum age is 4yo and most kids aren't remotely mature enough at 4 for a regular booster let alone a backless one. It's not worth the risk.
As far as national guidelines go, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a child ride in a booster seat until they hit the magical height of 4-foot-nine-inches and the adult seat belt ``fits correctly.'' They add that this can be anywhere between age 8 and 12.
Children who are more than 4 years old but less than 8 years old, weigh more than 20 lbs but less than 65 lbs, and are less than 57 inches tall must ride in a properly secured booster seat or another federally approved child passenger restraint system.
Most state laws and booster seat manufacturers require children to be at least 4 or 5 years old before using a booster.
If your child is under 4 feet 9 inches tall or is less than eight years old but weighs more than 40 pounds, they must use a booster seat in Florida. Children over 4 feet 9 inches tall or eight years old or older but still weigh less than 40 pounds are recommended to use a booster seat.
Even children who are short in stature or lightweight can ride without a child restraint after turning six. However, Florida's seat belt law takes over at that point, and the child must use a seat belt until their eighteenth birthday regardless of where they sit in the vehicle.
Children four years old through five years old to be in a separate carrier device, an integrated child's safety seat, or a child's booster seat. Children 6 years old and older the option of continuing to use a booster seat or begin using a regular seat belt.
