Yes, both forward-facing seats and booster seats will make the best car seat for six year old as long as you check their weight and height requirements. Forward-facing seats are for ages 1 to 7, and boosters are for 4 to 12-year old kids.
When does a child no longer need to be in a booster?
Once a child is 8 years of age, s/he no longer needs to ride in a booster seat, but s/he must be secured in a properly adjusted seat belt. Note: While the children described above are exempt from the child restraint law, the seat belt may not fit them properly.
Can a car seat be used as a booster seat?
Yes, there are seats that can do double duty – starting as car seats and turning into boosters. With these seats if your child is using the 5 point harness then they are riding in a car seat – and if your child is sitting on the child restraint and using the vehicle’s seat belt across them, then they are riding in a booster.
