They are now saying that you should keep children rear facing for 2 years and in a booster seat until they are 4' 9" tall. And that they should always ride in the back until they are at least 13.
I personally think its a bunch of baloney.

Yep, same here on the other side of the world - law has just been changed to booster seat until 7 years of age (until after 7th birthday).
The recommendation is until 140cm (4' 7") but they decided that would be too difficult to enforce. Imagine measuring kids height on the side of the road.
My six year old (at 120cm, approx 4ft) is in a backless booster while my nine year old doesn't use one.
