Atkinson is an English-language surname. The name is derived from a patronymic form of the Middle English Atkin.
Once children outgrow their booster seat (usually at 10 â 12 years old) they can use the adult lap/shoulder safety belt if it fits them properly. Lap portion low over the hips/tops of thighs and shoulder belt crosses the center of the shoulder and center of the chest.
Car seat safety advocates recommend that babies stay in a rear-facing car seat to the weight limit of the seat or at least until age 2. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently revised their car seat policy to recommend rear-facing to age 2, as well. Several car seats today have rear-facing weight limits up to 40 pounds, which might accommodate the average child through age 3 and maybe beyond.
