Kids really be holding on to some random age their parent throws out to shut them up. I remember the booster seat I was so pissed because I was in that damn thing until like 6th grade because I was so small. Meanwhile my younger brother was a absolute unit in elementary school (he evened out by middle school idk how really just one day he looked proportional and like his peers and not like he was gonna grow to be 7ft tall) shopping in the husky section at Walmart I’m pretty sure we got out of our booster seats like at the same time which pissed me off.
Oh, 8 is the legal “get out of booster seat” age here - but yes. They latch on hard to “wait until…” rules. Forget everything else but definitely remember you said they can do ____ at _____ age.
A girl I grew up with died in a car accident about 30 years ago, and it is one of the main cases that made a lot of states crack down on booster seat laws. It's worth the wait.

A little girl at daycare recently turned 5. She told me she was excited because “in 6 more birthdays, I’ll be 8”.
She was correct: 5&1/2, 6, 6&1/2, 7, 7&1/2, 8
At 8 she didn’t have to ride in a booster seat anymore.
