Don’t hurry. Keep your child in the forward-facing seat he or she grows out of it. A forward-facing child seat spreads the force of a sudden stop or crash over the strongest parts of your child's body. Your child seat user guide will tell you the maximum weight and height for the seat. If your child grows out of the forward-facing seat, there may be another forward-facing seat that may still fit. There are forward-facing car seats that are made for children up to 30 kg (65 lbs)!
Even if your child weighs 18 kg (40 lbs) and your provincial/territorial law says you can use a booster seat, your child is safer in the forward-facing seat as long as he or she is still below the child seat’s weight and height limits.

When should you move your child from a booster seat to a seat belt?
Please check with your provincial/territorial law as to when your child can move to a seat belt.
