Doing so increases the risk of not having the belts actually tightened enough to securely keep a child in the seat in the unfortunate case of an accident. | |

Car seats fit children based upon weight and height, as both factor into whether a child fits properly, and infant carriers typically safely accommodate infants between 5 and 22 pounds, or up to 30 inches. Once they exceed one of those two constraints, they transition to a forward-facing upright car seat. When they graduate to a booster seat is again determined by height and/or weight. Ensuring that the seat belt fits properly across the chest, without going across the neck, is more a function of height than weight. | |

Some of the laws are ridiculous and cover kids up to 8yo! I am not asserting the accuracy of the report, only that laws may vary in one's locality. | |
