80lbs as a marker to be out of a booster has been around for a while, and mentioned here and there. I'm wondering where it came from originally? It is part of the law in Ontario (8 or 80lbs or 4'9") but not elsewhere, like BC (9 or 4'9"). Is it a remnant of when boosters only went to 80lbs and that was the only option but to 'graduate' to the seat belt? Is there any source or research to go along with that weight for improved outcomes in the belt only?
