Question:
My son is taller than the average four year old. I was wondering if it's ok to put him into a booster seat. His carseat still fits him, though a bit close for me.
Answers:
Who is at fault if I walk behind a vehicle that is baking out of a parking space and it hits me?
Child seat until he is 6 years old or 60 poundsBooster until he is 8 or 80 then regular seat and seat belt
How do you stop drunk driving deaths?
I just had this conversation with my sister in law. I remebered 4 and 40. she said it changed to 6 and 60, then booster until 8 and 80 before going to regular seats. But this is what the NHTSA says"
should color influence your car buying decision?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the American Academy of Pediatrics both agree on the following recommendations:
• Children who weigh less than twenty pounds should be restrained in rear facing infant or convertible child safety seats.
• Children weighing between twenty and forty pounds and older than one year should be restrained in forward facing convertible child safety seats.
• Children weighing between forty and sixty pounds should be restrained by the vehicle's three point (lap and shoulder belt) harness in conjunction with a belt positioning booster seat.
• Children under the age of twelve should not be allowed to ride in the front seat of a vehicle, irrespective of whether or not the vehicle is equipped with air bags. Further, children under twelve should never be belted with a lap belt and no shoulder belt.
Can parents sell your car if the title is in your name, even though you are a minor.?
Children shouldn't be moved up to a booster seat until they are four feet tall, according to all the safety information out there that I've read.are the driving hours for hgv drivers changing in april?
probably around now but double check with you pediatritioni passed my license i just bought my sisters car it's a nissan altima is it a easy car to drive?
Check your local laws its not so much the age but the size.Where can i do a background check on cars without paying a fee.free?
some brands say when they are i think 30 lbs, i dunno. my son's 3 and i use a booster on occassion. the regular car seat just seems so much more secure though...If he is 40 lbs. and age 4 then he can go in a booster seat.
If his head is taller than the carseat back then yes he needs a booster and some boosters go from 30-100 lbs.
I know this because I am training to become a certified car seat safety technician.
He needs to ride in a booster until age 8 or 80 lbs. or 4 feet 9 inches.
If you still have any questions, contact your local safe kids or a certified car seat tech. in your area.
DO NOT go to the police station or fire dept. they do not know jack about car seat safety.
Try going to www.nhtsa.gov. They have alot of info about car seat safety at their site.
It depends on your sons weight as well
If he is already 40 pounds you can move him to a booster but personally I have a 5y.o in a 5pt harness. Its best and safest to keep your child in a 5pt harness as long as possible.
Is it a traffic violation? Can I contest it?
watch this video:

Try purcahsing a carseat thats bigger for your son so he doesnt feel so confined like a Britax Regent, Radian80 or an Safety1st/Cosco Apex 65 they keep your son in a 5pt harness from 65-80 pounds. They also offer some sort of side impact protection.
Yes in the video the womans Car belts where faulty but had she had the Regents or any of those seats they would have been teethered down and with the Latch so that offers more security than just the belts.
I have a 5 y.o (45 pounds) that is curently in the apex 65 awaiting for her 3y.o (37pound) brother to outgrow his Britax Marathon so I can purchase the Regent and do a switch of seats
to determine how fast you was going in a car wreck by how far you slide?
Also there is no BEST carseat
they all meet the standard for safety so basically its whether or not they create a snug fit in your car
If its easy for YOU to use
If its easy for YOU to install
If your child fits in Properly
Has the features YOU need/want (mine were side impact protection and 5pt harness past 40 pounds)
