When Is It Safe For My Child To Ride Without A Booster?
Once a child has outgrown their car seat, a booster seat should be used until safety belts fit correctly.
Usually not until the child reaches 4'9" in height or is 8 years old.
Experts agree and the evidence is conclusive that children are moving to safety belts too soon.
48% of children between the ages of 4 and 8 killed in motor vehicle crashes in 2001 were unrestrained.
Using a belt positioning booster (BPB) with a safety belt instead of a
safety belt alone reduces a child¹s risk of injury by 59%.
