Boosters are not for babies!
They're for big kids who are not adult sized yet.
Just like a helmet, life jacket, or rock climbing harness is a piece of safety equipment that must fit and be worn correctly to protect the person using it, the vehicle seatbelt is a piece of safety equipment that must fit and be worn correctly to protect your child! A booster seat allows your child to use the adult-sized seatbelt safely, even though they're smaller than an adult.
Kids should stay in a booster until they pass the 5-Step Test for a safe seatbelt fit:
-Back against the vehicle seat without slouching
-Knees bent naturally over the edge of the seat
-Feet flat on the floor
-Lap belt sits low on the hips, touching the tops of the thighs, not on the soft abdomen
-Shoulder belt lies snugly across the chest and shoulder, not on the neck or face
