Detailed explanation-1: -Belt-positioning booster seat is typically used for children ages 8-12-year-old and at least 4 feet, 9 inches tall. Option A: When children outgrow their rear-facing seat they are buckled in a forward facing car seat until the age of five or when they reach the upper weight or height limit of the seat.

Detailed explanation-2: -Children should stay in a booster seat until adult seat belts fit correctly, typically when children reach about 4 feet 9 inches in height and are 8 to 12 years of age.

Detailed explanation-3: -Booster seats are seats that help kids stay safe in cars. It’s time to use a booster seat when a child outgrows a car seat. Booster seats lift kids up so that seatbelts lie across the strong bones of the chest and pelvis instead of the belly and neck, where they could do serious damage in a crash.

Detailed explanation-4: -Currently booster cushions fall under the Group 2/3 car seat category, meaning they can be used from around 4-years-old. The new extension recommends children use backless boosters once they are 125cm or taller, which is roughly about 7-years-old.
