In Rhode Island, a child can stop using a booster seat when they reach 8 years of age or weigh 80 pounds, whichever comes first. Additionally, children should remain in a booster seat until they can properly fit in a seat belt, which typically occurs when they are between 4 feet 9 inches and 5 feet tall. It's important for parents to ensure the seat belt fits correctly across the child's lap and shoulder for maximum safety.
