Forward facing harnessed seats are outgrown when a child reaches the weight limit, or more commonly when the child's shoulders are above the top harness slots.If the child is 4 years AND 40lbs, then he may move to a booster with vehicle lap shoulder belt seatbelt. If not, then the child needs a larger Foward Facing harnessed seat. There are many seats that harness to 55-80lbs. Some are the Britax Marathon, Decathalon, Boulevard, Frontier and Regent; the Sunshine Kids Radian; the Evenflo Triumph ADVANCE; the Graco Nautilus and the Cosco/Safety First Apex. Stay away from: The Alpha Omega 3-in-1 seats only harness to 40lbs and most 40lb weight limit seats are outgrown before a child is mature enough for a booster seat. They also have very low top harness slots, so are outgrown by height at around 2 or 3 years old. The Graco Comfortsport also has very low top slots.A child should ride in a booster with vehicle lap/shoulder belt until he or she reaches approximately 4'9" (around age 12) and then can move to just the adult seatbelt if he passes the 5 step test and the seatbelt fits him correctly.

A car seat is a seat with an internal harness. It's installed in the car using either LATCH or a seatbelt. It's primary purpose is to prevent ejection in a crash.A booster seat is used to boost a child up so that the vehicle's seatbelt fits him/her properly. It's primary purpose is to give that boost. They provide little-to-no actual protection in a crash, other than to ensure the car's seatbelt hits the child in the correct spots (which can prevent internal injuries from an ill-fitting belt). A "car seat" (with internal harness) is recommended from newborns until the harness is outgrown. It's best for a child to be in a 5 point harness for as long as possible. There are some available that harness to 65, 70, and even 80 lbs!A "booster" is not recommended until a child is AT LEAST 4 years old AND 40 lbs (that means a 40 lb 3 year old should be in a car seat or a 35 lb 5 year old should be in a car seat). But, like mentioned above, it's best to keep them harnessed as long as possible! Kids should be in a booster until they are 4'9" tall.
