How old should a child be before he/she can come out of a booster seat?
To fit most shoulder belts without a booster system, the child should be 1.45 m tall (4 ft. 9 in) tall or have a sitting height of 74 cm. (29 in.) Also, a child’s pelvic bones are not fully developed until the age of 9 or 10 and the seat belt system may ride up over the abdomen. Click here for information on booster seats.
