What age/height/weight did you put child into seat belt booster?
822637
At about 42-45 pounds and 40 inches. Her britax car seat rated at 70 pounds had become difficult to get her into the shoulder straps, so we ordered this booster ad she LOVES it!! We have 3 of this exact booster.

I kept my son in the five point harness until he literally outgrew it height wise. He was 7.5 years old and about 53 inches tall. He weighs 60 pounds. He is now in the seat belt positioning booster and does quite well with it.

My son is 6 years old 55lbs and 3 foot 10 Inches. We love this seat but we still usually use the britax seat with the harness as a 5 point harness is always safer.

40lbs. This seat will not get average to larger sized children to a safe booster age, so you must buy another 5-point-harness seat once this is outgrown unless the child is at least 5-6 years old and has the maturity to use a booster seat.

Yes, she is too young! If my child refused to buckle up, he wouldn't go anywhere!!! I'm pretty sure most boosters start at 40 lbs and a certain height.

You can use it as a harness/convertable seat also. If your child is past the size or weight of a harness, you should look at their booster only seat.

That means Recaro can be converted from harness configuration (for toddlers) to booster sitting when they grow larger. From the internet,Height/weight range harness: 27-50″ and 20-90 lbs (and at least 1 year old)Height/weight range booster: 37-59″ and 30-120 lbs‏

Short answer: I don't think soWe put our son in there at about 30 months and 35 pounds. Our chicco keyfit 30 car seat worked pretty well up until then, and I think the official recommendation is to keep your kids in a rear facing car seat until 2 years or close to 30 lbs. When our son got in this it still seemed a bit big since the seatbel strap was located too high so it would slide into his neck (not bad, but you could tell it wasn't quite right). We bought the maxi cosi priori seat as an "in between" seat as our baby was outgrowing the car seat but wasn't ready for this seat. Note that I do highly recommend the Kobuk seat Short answer: I don't think soWe put our son in there at about 30 months and 35 pounds.

Most recommend 12 months and up, and up to 40 lbs. My daughter was 18 months and 21 lbs when we started using one - so weight-wise your daughter will be fine but the hard part might be finding a helmet that fits. We had to adjust the smallest one we could find even smaller for her (average size - 50% percentile) head. The 12 month age recommendation is probably for head/neck control - much like a forward facing car seat the main concern is safety in the event of an accident. The "seat" itself is more like a hammock or sling - just a piece of fabric - so if the child can't sit up properly the seat won't work well. Most recommend 12 months and up, and up to 40 lbs.

It really comes down to you comfort level of a seatbelt vs. 5 pt harness. My son is 6ys and 40 lbs. We have the Frontier because we feel its still safer to have him in a 5 pt harness.

While most companies will suggest the weight range for booster seats is 30lb PLUS, pediatricians recommend not placing children in booster seats until they weigh over 40. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) actually recommends that children not be moved up to booster seats until they are over 5 years old, or if they weigh more than the recommended maximum for a forward-facing child seat, which is generally 65 pounds. At 23 pounds, your child is not only too young and light for a booster seat, but also for a forward-facing child seat. In fact, your child is right around the age and weight for transitioning out of an infant seat into a rear-facing child seat, so quite far from using a booster seat.

It really depends on the childs height. We started using it when our granddaughter was 3 years old and she was much more comfortable riding. Her legs were not pushing into the back of the front seat and she could move around a little more easily. For us her weight had increased, as it should, and it was much easier for her to climb into the carseat on her own and we can then buckle her in. She is now 4+ and can almost buckle herself in. It has been a great seat for us and her.

To use the 5 point harness you need the latch system; fits children from 22- 65 lbs. To use it as a booster only it would be backless and should be used for 40 - 100 lb children.

It's generally best to be a minimum of 40 lbs. and age 4 before using a booster, though many kids are not ready until years later. They need to be able to sit safely in position in a booster.

My granddaughter is over 3 years old, 47 lbs. and 46 inches tall. This seat is a really nice fit for her. I don't know how big your 21 month old is, but chances are, he is still too small for a booster seat. However, I did purchase the Maxi Cosi Pria 70 for her and we put her in it around 14 months old and it has been great! I am still using it for her in my vehicle and her mom has the booster seat in her vehicle. Hope this helps.

For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture. I don't remember the window of time for this one specifically, but it will def get her through the years you would want a good carseat and solid booster! Most kids want the smaller less obvious boosters when they get close to reaching the age that they ALMOST don't need one anymore. And it can be used as five point harness seat for a LONG time. My son is almost 4 and still has LOTS of weight and height to go before he meets the recommended requirements for the booster option! I love the Alpha seats, all three of my kids have them :) For Safety 1st years the average is 6-8 years from the date of manufacture.

My son is five and around 45 lbs. he sits in the middle with his safety belt on. I can carry stuff in the trailer as well. It really is worth buying.
