Best Answer

Rather than a specific height, kids have to meet all of these five criteria before they stop using a booster seat:

The 5-Step Test.

1. Does the child sit all the way back against the auto seat?

2. Do the child's knees bend comfortably at the edge of the auto seat?

3. Does the belt cross the shoulder between the neck and arm?

4. Is the lap belt as low as possible, touching the thighs?

5. Can the child stay seated like this for the whole trip?

Most, but not all, kids will meet these five criteria by the time they are 4' 9"
