Every child wants to know when they get to hit that ride a passage and be able to sit on the front seat of a car. The recommendation is the children under the age of 13 should be riding in the backseat. That is because vehicles were made for adults and not for children. That airbag in the front can be particularly damaging to a child. For that reason, under 13 is in the back. When your child is in the booster seat, trying to figure out when they don’t have to use that booster seat anymore is another point of contention with parents and children, but your child has to be able to sit with their bottom all the way against the back of the seat. Their knees should bend over the edge of the seat. Their feet should be touching the floor. They should be able to sit comfortably that way. That’s kind of the five-point check that you want to do. You want to make sure that they sit all the way back without slouching, their knees bend over the seat, the feet flat on the floor. They can sit that way for at least 30 minutes and be comfortable.
