According to US law, children weighing more than 40 pounds (about 18 kilograms) but less than 80 pounds (36 kilograms) must use a booster seat. Children weighing over 40 pounds but less than 80 pounds (under 8 years old, about 4 feet 9 inches tall, around 1.45 meters) must use a booster seat, instead of a regular seat belt. Children weighing over 80 pounds (over 8 years old) can use a regular seat belt like an adult. So even though your child may be of age, they may not meet the height requirement according to the law. It is recommended to bring one with you or rent one locally. The booster seat is designed to prevent the problem of the seat belt choking the child when they are not tall enough, making it safer to use the seat belt.
