At what point can I retire my child's booster seat and just use the seat belt? (I've read the child needs to be 49" or more tall because of how the shoulder strap lays .)

Hello and welcome. There is no fixed age, weight or height to determine this. Correct fit of an adult seatbelt varies a lot with child and vehicle and even among different seating positions in the same vehicle. 4 feet, 9 inches (57") is an older guideline that is no longer typically used.

Here is a good method to help you determine if your child is ready: https://carseatblog.com/3966/the-5-step-test/
