Children less than 40 lb (18kg) must stay in a child safety seat with a harness, not a booster seat. Read the safety seat instructions to see if your child is over the height limit. If your child is too tall for that seat, you need a different seat. A seat that works as a forward-facing seat and then converts to a booster seat may work well. Q: My son is 4 years old and weighs 46 lb (21kg). Can I keep him in a forward-facing seat with a 5-point harness? It seems safer. A: Yes. There are combinations of seats that have higher weight limits for use with the 5-point harness. Look for a forward-facing seat that can be used with the harness up to 65 lb (30kg).
