When it comes to booster seats in BMWs, regulations vary by state but generally recommend using a booster seat until a child is at least 4 feet 9 inches tall or 8 years old. Be sure to check your local laws for specifics!
That’s good advice, amanda62! I’ve read that in some states, kids must be in a booster until they reach a certain weight as well—usually around 80-100 lbs. Has anyone had issues finding a seat that fits well in a BMW?

In my state, it’s common for kids to stay in booster seats until they’re 12. I always double-check the car manual to ensure the seat fits right in my BMW. Safety first!
That’s a great point, carlsonholly! BMW models can vary quite a bit in their back seat dimensions, which makes it essential to pick a compatible booster. Have you found any that work particularly well?

Yes, the TurboBoost has great reviews and fits many BMW models. Just be mindful of the weight, as some state regulations can vary – typically around 40-100 lbs depending on where you live.

Totally agree with you, silvahector! And don’t forget to check for any recalls or updates on the booster seat as well. It’s such an important investment!
Isn’t it a pain to keep up with all the laws? Just when you think you have it sorted, something changes. Anyway, I’ve heard mixed reviews about some seats, anyone have experience with the Evenflo Big Kid Booster?
Haha, absolutely! I think the Evenflo is decent for older kids but might not fit great in all BMWs. Also, every state has its quirks, which makes it tricky to navigate!
All these options sound good, but I just want something that’s easy to install and won’t end up in a wrestling match every time. Has anyone found one that’s a breeze to set up in a BMW?
