FAQ
When may my child stop using a booster seat and use only the adult safety belt? Texas law requires all children younger than 8 years old, unless taller than 4'9”, to be in the appropriate child safety seat system.
Yes, a 5-year-old can sit in a booster seat, but it depends on their size and weight. Generally, children should transition to a booster seat when they outgrow their forward-facing car seat, which is typically around 4 years old and at least 40 pounds.
Older children who have outgrown a booster seat must be buckled with a seat belt. Failure to properly restrain a child can result in a ticket of up to $250.

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.
Definitely don't put your 3 and 4 year olds in backless boosters. Their bodies are not ready and not strong enough.

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.
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.
