Child passport validity

Child passport validity - Cute little girl with suitcase and passport

My US child passport expires on December 4, 2016, and I'm planning on traveling in December.
I know I need a new child passport to travel then.

However, I turn 16 in June 2017.
After I turn 16, would I still be able to travel on a child passport until it expires (around December 2021, I would be 20 years old) or would I need an adult passport then?

All children under age 16 must apply for a passport in person with two parents or guardians using Form DS-11. You cannot renew your child's passport using Form DS-82. Passports for children under age 16 are only valid for 5 years.
