[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The law is age 8. But AAP strongly recommends kids under 4’10” be in a booster. Most 8 yr olds are not that tall. Some kids aren’t 4’10 until they are 10-12. By then you’ll get a lot of push back from them about the booster, which is understandable, and I’d consider letting go shy of that height. But I’d keep her in at least a basic booster until she is closer to 4’10” [/quote] 4’10 seems extreme unless you have a particularly tall car/SUV — by 4’7 my 9 year old’s head was uncomfortably close to the interior roof of our car and compact suv when she was in her booster. At 4’10 her head would literally touch it. [/quote] I think that was your booster. My 8 year old is 4’7” and just asked to switch to the cheap travel Graco full time because it was lower than our fancy Diono booster. But without the booster the seatbelt still sits across her neck and belly in both of our cars.[/quote]
