How old until a child can sit in booster seat?

When they can sit correctly in one even when they fall asleep. Like kot slump forward when asleep.

Minimum age is 5, but kids are usually closer to 6 or 7 before they're truly ready

@nerdymommyplus2, so it doesn’t go by age?

@mokimbo, seriously? Wow! I know a few people that have their 2/3 year olds in one

No there are affordable seats that will keep them harnessed until they can fit correctly for a seatbelt using a booster. However I know most boosters have a minimum weight of 40 pounds anyways.

My 6 year old is still harnessed but she's tiny (weight Wise) but she's 3'7. Most people just don't know.

@nerdymommyplus2, oh, ok. Thanks!

@jasminemcmahon30 I know, it's insane. I'll find a good article for you in a minute

@mokimbo, it is. Ok. Thanks!

People also stop using boosters way too soon, here's an article on that as well @jasminemcmahon30

If you need a suggestion the Graco wayz is an affordable seat or harmony defender 360 both are about 100$ and last seat they will need. They go from harness all the way to backless booster

@mokimbo, thanks!

@mokimbo, I know. Smh! Thanks again!

@nerdymommyplus2, thanks! I’ll definitely check them out
