Should my 5 year old be in a car seat or booster?

4 – 7 Years Keep your child in a forward-facing car seat with a harness and tether until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit allowed by your car seat's manufacturer. Once your child outgrows the forward-facing car seat with a harness, it's time to travel in a booster seat, but still in the back seat.

Yes, backless booster seats are safe. They serve to position your child so they can be protected by a seat belt. Backless booster seats may be as safe as high back boosters, though there aren't many studies comparing the two.
