You are a little mixed up. It is children under 12 and under the height limit that need a booster seat. They actually don't need a booster seat, they need a child restraint tested according to ECE R44.03. this might be a child seat, booster or one of these seat belt adjusters from
Autosafe. So a dwarf ( Miss T.Belle for example ) over the age of 12 does not need a child restarint to comply with the law. Have a read of
this government web site, it explains it all.

No, it is based on age and height but, over 12 can use a normal adult belt regardless of height Rindy.
