It seems to me some of the kids at ds school have boosters seats in the cars and others dont.
Do you use one for your child?
Is it a legal thing to use them or not?

Sam doesn't because he is too big for one. But there is now a law that if they "can" go in one, then they have to.:
My 5 year old daughter is to tall!! and with the laws changing and saftey reasons i was a little worried so ive done some investigating and a harness bolted in is ok and legal for this age. I also discovered that when there eyes are level with the top of carseat or booster they are no longer safe to use.
DD1, 7, doesn't use one. She's very tall. I do have a half seat one we use for DD2, 4, on long trips. Both of them are too tall for a full booster seat.
My 6yo DS doesn't have one - he is tall for his age and is too big for one now.
here is a link to vic roads site with new regulations
New rules for using child restraints and booster seats : VicRoads
DD had one till this year (she's nearly 8). Even though she was too tall for it, we were told it was a safety regulation, so we went with it.
at 6-7 they would have to be realy tall to out grow the tall ones now, my 9 yr old sat in one at the shop the other day and had heaps of hieght left and she is 145cm tall.
My 6 year old is in one and wont come out till physically to big.
my 5yr is still in hes booster seat hes only tiny he love hes seat
my son was 5 on 6th feb and he is still in a car seat lol he is almost out of that height but not weight, then he will go in a booster, probably the infa vira max
My DD is 7 and has a booster cushion -and the harness which is bolted in.
