Booster seats can be used for children ages 3 and up. There are height and weight requirements to let you know when your child is ready to switch from a forward facing child car seat to a booster seat that depend on the specific booster seat you are selecting.

Another more universal requirement is that the seat belt must come comfortably over the child’s shoulder. When looking for a booster seat, make sure to look at both comfort and safety features to make sure you buy the best booster seat for your child. And, some even come with fun colors and patterns, to make this new “big kid” car seat even more fun for your child!
