DO YOU STILL NEED A Car Seat OR BOOSTER?
i have a sister who is 6 almost 7 in about 10 days. so lets consider her 7, does she still need to use a booster or car seat? or she could just sit on one of the seats? i dont know, but i think she is about 38 lbs. - 40lbs. somewhere around there. & she is about, 3 feet 9inches.
It looks like a yes, she needs a car seat. You can pick one up at Walmart cheap. Some states have laws regarding booster seats but not all, check your states DMV site. I guess people not using booster seats is causing a serious growth in injuries for children four and up. It looks like they are pushing for a federal law to mandate the use of booster nationally. The National Highway Traffic Saftey Association had these guidelines:
"BOOSTER SEATS. Once children outgrow their forward-facing seats (usually around age 4 and 40 pounds), they should ride in booster seats, in the Back Seat, until the vehicle seat belts fit properly. Seat belts fit properly when the lap belt lays across the upper thighs and the shoulder belt fits across the chest (usually at age 8 or when they are 4'9" tall). "
I think most states have similar suggestions or laws regarding safety. It seems the 4 9 height requirement is the same almost every place I looked. Some did have a weight requirement of 80 pounds. I hope it helps.
