 When should my child switch from a car seat to a booster seat?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Answer: You can safely switch your child to a booster seat if she's at least 3 years old and she weighs 40 pounds or more or has grown too tall for her car seat (when her shoulders are higher than the top set of harness-strap slots in the car seat's back).
When it comes to choosing a booster seat, be sure to select one that uses your auto's lap and shoulder belts (called a belt-positioning seat), rather than one designed for lap belts only (called a shield-style seat).
Boosters shouldn't even be considered until the child is at least 3 years old AND at least 40lbs (although I've even read people say it should be 4yrs and not 3yrs regardless of weight at 3yrs).
