Kids Under 4' 9" need Booster Seat

A staggering 80-90% of all children in the U.S. who should be restrained in a booster seat are not. Children who have outgrown their child safety seat, but who are still under 4' 9", are safer sitting in a booster seat, rather than immediately transitioning to an adult safety belt. Developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Safety Administration in partnership with the Ad Council, the goal of the PSA campaign is to educate parents of children who have out-grown their child safety seat that a booster seat is a life-saving transition to an adult safety belt.

My wife is 4'8". She's 46 years old. Does she need to be in a booster seat?

Obviously people aren't informing themselves on what the laws actually are....this commercial doesn't give all the facts. In Michigan the law states that if you are between 4 and 8 years old OR if you weigh less than 80 pounds and are under 4'9" you must be in a booster seat. CHECK THE FACTS PEOPLE.  DON'T BELIEVE EVERY COMMERCIAL YOU SEE.

ok u have to have an age too as in like 8 or 4 ft 9 ins because think aubout an adult in one they may not be 4 ft 9 ins as a matter of fact i would need one but i am 13 and about 4 ft 9 ins i might be too small.

When I saw this PSA in Florida, I thought the height requirement for a normal seat was insane. I don't recall anyone I've seen under 4'9" sitting on a booster seat unless they were toddlers.

I am 4'11", 18 years old, and I drive....if I ever shrink or the law changes again, I don't care what anyone says, I am NOT driving in a booster seat.
