You will be able to use it from 6 months of age in toddler mode and up to approximately 8 years when in Booster Mode. Without a booster seat, an adult seat belt can actually cause injury during a car crash rather than prevent it. For example, if the lap belt rests on your child's tummy (which it's likely to do without a booster), they could suffer stomach, liver, or spleen damage in an accident. Children ages 4 to 8 who use a booster seat reduce their chance of a crash-related injury by 45 percent when compared with seat belts alone. One study found that in states with booster seat laws, the death rate among 7-year-olds was 25 percent lower for children than in states without booster seat laws.

This is especially true if your child tends to be active in the car, because they may wiggle out of a seat belt or push off the shoulder belt.

Make sure your child's ready for a booster. One mistake many parents make is putting their child in a booster seat before they're truly big enough to use it safely. While the instructions on some all-in-one car seats say they can be used without the harness starting at 30 pounds, this is really true only for a very tall, thin child who's grown too tall for the harness but doesn't yet weigh 40 pounds.

If they ride in a carpool, ask about booster use. The Large retractable cup holders will fit most cups and hide away when not in use. You will be able to use it from 6 months of age in toddler mode and up to approximately 8 years when in Booster Mode. Your child can graduate from the booster seat once they can wear a seat belt correctly without one. This usually happens when a child reaches 4 feet 9 inches in height and is between the ages of 8 and 12. Booster seat age: Do 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds need a booster?Most 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds aren't big enough for a booster seat. The average 5-year-old is about 3 feet 7 inches tall and about 40 to 41 pounds, under the limits for forward-facing car seats. The average 6-year-old is about 44 to 45 pounds and 3 feet 9 inches tall. That means they should stay in their car seat, which is safer, rather than switching to a booster seat too soon.
