Just curious.... at what age did you transition your child from 5-point harness to booster seat?

He was 4 I believe.

My almost six year old is still in a 5 point harness.

I was wondering this myself.

I'm pretty sure she was 4. But she's also tall for her age

My 5 year old is in a 5 point harness. It goes up to 65 pounds and he's around 40, so I have no plans of moving to a booster any time soon.

My oldest was 7, my youngest is still harnessed at 4.5 and will be for awhile yet.

The bare minimum recommendation is 4 years and 40lbs, but maturity is a huge factor. If they can't sit properly 100% of the time, they are not ready for a booster. If they are not sitting correctly, the belt could injure them in a crash. Most kids just plain do not have the impulse control until closer to 5 or 6.

Thanks for all your replies, ladies!   I am still thinking over when I will switch my daughter.

I threw in that 3 answer because this girl I knew had her daughter in a booster just before she turned 3.

Quoting Andie.:" The bare minimum recommendation is 4 years and 40lbs, but maturity is a huge factor. If they can't sit properly 100% of the time, they are not ready for a booster.

Here, it's Law to be 4 Years AND 40lbs before Boostering.
At 5 My Son keeps bouncing around between 38 & 39lbs. Which is fine, he likes to sleep, & he's far safer Harnessed than Boostered. Actually he wants to Rear Face again Like His 2 year old Sister, she's so Relaxed & Comfy in her seat, & doesn't have to have her Legs hang down or be unable to Cross 'em. When they sleep their Head doesn't always stay up ('though he is finally starting to have it stay up now), so they're definitely not ready for a Booster. I've even put my Little Cousin(7years) back in a Harness when he's been with Me, because in-spite of the fact he's been Forced into a Booster for the last 3 years, he really isn't ready for it, nor is his 8.5year old Brother(Legal No Restraint age is 8years AND 80lbs, but his Parent's only followed the 8year rule). Now with our Radian's there's a Chance he'll be Boosterd or Harnessed again too, with us anyway
I Love My "Other" Boys, & Want to treat them the same as My Own, and so I DO when they are With Me!

My 4 year old is still in a 5 point harness & will be for as long as possible.
He's 42 lbs and 43-44 inches tall.

My oldest is 4 1/2 and she will be in a harness booster till she out grows the height or weight limits ( ours is 65 lbs and she still has a slot to go before shes to tall)

My oldest was 4 to go in a booster seat and 8 when she stopped using a booster seat.
My now 4 yr old dd is still in a 5 point, cause she only weighs 28lbs.
