Under Tennessee’s Child Passenger Protection Laws, at what height can a child transition out of a booster seat?
Tennessee law specifies that a child must remain in a booster seat until they reach a height of 4 feet 9 inches. This requirement ensures that the vehicle's seat belt fits properly across the child's body, specifically the shoulder and lap, offering better protection during a crash. The transition to a standard seat belt without a booster should only occur when the child reaches this height for effective safety belt fitting.
