My daughter started Kindergarten in August and she is still sitting in a booster seat. Some of the other kids are sitting in the front seats of their parents cars. Are your children still sitting in a booster seat? Is it time for us to give it up and let her sit in the back seat without the booster seat? Let's hear what you guys think! THANKS!!

My 5 year old is in a booster, and so is my 10 year old.  Neither will go without a booster until they're tall enough for a seatbelt to fit properly.

Yep, he is still in his. He's getting ready to get out of the car in this pic, that's why it looks like its not on right, heading for school :)

chances are - legally you have to have them in a booster seat still. Many parents ignore the laws after 4-5 years old

Yep its a law here to be like 8 or 80 lbs something like  that and my  daughter is neither 8 or 80 lbs  so she will be in booster for awhile now.

according to the nhtsa.gov site, they have to be 8 yrs old or 4'9".

My dd has a way to go. She's still in a booster w/ the back support.

Are you sure his headrest is raised to the proper level? It doesnt look like the seatbelt thread part on the booster seat is high enough.
