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.
All children are safer if they remain in a rear-facing car seat beyond a year. Thanks to higher rear-facing weight limits on car seats, nearly all toddlers can remain rear-facing to age 2 and beyond. Some states in the U.S. have begun updating their child passenger safety laws to require rear-facing until age 2.
