Laws aside, kids aren't ready to make the switch from a booster seat to seat belts until they're at least 4 feet 9 inches tall and can pass the five-step test below â typically between ages 8 and 10.
Children should remain rear facing until age 2. Toddlers should ride in forward-facing child safety seats in the back seat until they reach the upper weight or height limit of the seat (usually around age 4 and 40 pounds). According to Utah law, children must ride in booster seats until age 8. Itâs even safer to keep them in boosters until theyâre 4 feet 9 inches tall, no matter their age. After age 8, children should always wear a seat belt. Children 12 years of age and younger should continue to ride in the back seat.
