![]() No! Many 40 pound children are not mature enough to use a booster seat. Do I HAVE to transition my child to a booster once they reach 40 pounds? ![]() While many booster seats say that they can be used for children weighing as little as 30 pounds, it is best to wait until the child is at least 40 pounds (and has met the other minimums stated above) before using a booster seat. The 5-point harness of a forward-facing car seat provides the best protection for pre-schoolers because it not only restricts movement, ensuring that toddlers are in the proper position should a crash occur, but also distributes the crash forces over a larger area of the body when compared to a safety belt and booster seat (two chest straps with the safety seat’s 5-point harness versus one chest strap with the safety belt.). Why shouldn’t my 3 year old 30 pound child use a booster?
