“It may seem like your tween is growing up fast, but there’s a chance he still needs a car seat. The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends boosters until kids are at least 4′ 9″, typically between the ages of 8 and 12. These seats lift a child so the seat belt lies properly across the shoulder and waist, greatly reducing the chance of injury in a crash.”
