When forward-facing, children should use the built-in
harness system for as long as possible until they
reach the maximum forward-facing weight or height
for their car seat. At that point, children should ride
in a belt-positioning booster seat. A booster is no
longer needed once the vehicle seat belt fits properly,
typically when they reach 4 feet 9 inches (145 cm)
tall and are between ages 8-12. Be sure to check
your local and state laws, as well as AAP and NHTSA
recommendations, for car seat usage.
