[quote=Anonymous]There's a lot of incorrect info on this thread. The law requires boosters until age 8, but the recommendation is to use them until the child is 4'9", Very few 8 year olds are that height. I do try it require them but get a lot of pushback from the 4th graders I drive. I tell them that I follow the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. I think my child, who is slightly above average height, will hit that height around age 11, so probably in 5th grade. I guess if I was driving middle school kids and there was a very short one, I wouldn't make them sit in a booster if no one else was, though. But it's ridiculous to me that all these 4th graders insist they are too old for boosters---some of them are shorter than my first grader and none of them are above the recommended height.[/quote]
