Texas Law On Booster Seats

On May 29, 2009, Texas changed its law regarding children safety seats in vehicles.

booster The law requires children to ride in booster seats until they are at least 8 years old or 4-feet-9 inches tall. Up until now, children had to be at least 5 years old or more than 3 feet tall to ride without a booster-seat.

The change comes from statistics that show alarming rates of child injuries in Texas vehicle accidents. Lawmakers argued that motor-vehicle accidents are one of the main causes of child fatalities. Standard seat belts are made for adults and requiring young children to stay in a booster-seat longer is a much safer option. Lap belts ride up and shoulder belts can cut into a child's neck and face in a car crash. Booster seats, however, help elevate small kids so that their stronger bones (like the collarbone and pelvis) take the brunt of the impact in an accident.

Know How Children Should Ride According to the American Academy of Pediatrics

From birth until at least 2 years old, or whenever they reach the maximum height and weight allowed for their car seat, children shoud ride in the back seat in a rear-facing chair.
From 2 years old or until they are large enough to ride in a booster seat, children can ride in a forward facing car seat.
From age 4 to age 8, in a back-seat booster chair.
At age 8 and over 4-foot-9, all children age 12 and under should ride in the backseat with a seatbelt.
