It depends on the laws of your home state, but in the State of Texas all children younger than 8 years old, unless taller than 4'9", are required to be in the appropriate child safety seat system wherever they ride in a passenger vehicle. The safety seat system MUST be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Another way of saying this is: When a child reaches their 8th birthday - no matter their height, it is legal for the child to use only the adult safety belt in the passenger vehicle. However, the best safety practice is: if the child is not yet 4'9", they are better protected if they continue to use the appropriate child safety seat system until they can properly fit in the adult safety belt.
The most required professionals in child care are trained caregivers and early childhood educators who provide essential support, development, and learning for children. Their expertise ensures the well-being, safety, and growth of children during their formative years.
In Texas, children under the age of eight, unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches, must be secured in a child passenger safety seat system. This requirement is for their safety in the event of a car accident.

In Missouri, a child can ride in the front passenger seat when they are at least 8 years old and weigh at least 80 pounds. However, it is recommended that children under 13 years old remain in the back seat for optimal safety.
