what the height and weight req. are for booster seat in stead of a car seat

[Mongo]

Roughly under 8 and over 40 lbs.

i'm fairly sure our booster seats say "over 30 pounds and less than 100." Soph was moved into her booster seat at 3--brendan moved from a car seat that used a regular seat belt to a booster seat when he was 4 1/2. Not sure how old you have to be to go without one, though--I think at least 8 years old?

Now that I have talked out of my arse, I went and looked it up. Here's the Michigan State Police stance on child car restraints: http://www.michigan.gov/msp/0,1607,7-123-1593_3504-138518--,00.html

Question: I have tried to find information on infant and child car seat laws. Car seats come with recommendations but never list the law. My friends and I want to make sure our children are restrained properly and according to the law but everywhere I turn I can find no information on what those laws are. How long do children have to be in "car seats" versus just the seat of the car for instance?


Answer: Michigan's child restraint law states that every child under the age of 4 years must be properly restrained in a child restraint seat no matter where they are seated in the vehicle.

The law does not cover where the children should ride but, regardless of what the law states, we know that there are safer ways to transport children in a motor vehicle. Statistics consistently show that the rear seat is the safest place for all children 12 and under.

Federal standards require child seat manufacturers or automotive manufacturers in the case of built-in child seats, to provide instructions and label these seats with warnings for incorrect placement. To comply with state law you MUST follow the manufacturers instructions.

There is no law requireing them to ride in the back. It is only recommended. Under 4 requires the restraint, but so does size. The law says the seat must fit according to manufacturer guidelines. If it doesn't fit, you need to upgrade to a seat that will. Also the restraint must be worn properly. A fast growing child under 4 may outgrow the seat and need a booster to fit in the belt properly, or a child over 4 may not be as large and need the seat longer. Basically the law puts the priority to proper fit. Now that it's clear as mud, check on line and watch for local programs. There are a lot of programs that give out free seats for anyone.
