Want this question answered?

sixty pounds to not sit in a booster seat
The child must wear a seat belt. If under a certain size or age, the child must sit on top of a booster seat, which raises the child up.
In Minnesota, it is recommended but not required for children under 13 to sit in the back seat when possible. However, if a child must sit in the front seat, they should be properly restrained in a child safety seat or booster seat appropriate for their age and size.
In Georgia, a child has to weigh at least 40 pounds to sit in the front seat. If the child is under 8 years of age, he also must be restrained in a car or booster seat in order to ride in the front seat.
It depends on which state you live in because there are different laws on this matter. Most states have a specific age and weight requirement that has to be met to legally allow a child to sit in a booster seat.
4' 9" and between the ages of 8 and 12.
No, regardless of the child's age, a booster seat should NEVER be used in the front seat. An airbag can kill a child in the front seat if they are not tall enough and heavy enough to properly take the impact of the air bag.
12 and under
It depends, as they need to fit the weight and height requirements specified in your vehicle manual, to sit in a seat unassisted. Unless there is a local bylaw requiring people of a certain age, height or weight either to sit in a booster seat, or not in a booster seat.
im from minnesota and our laws out here are that the child has to weigh 90 pounds and a height of 4 foot 9
In Texas, a child can legally sit without a car seat once they reach 8 years old or at least 4 feet 9 inches tall. It is recommended to follow safety guidelines and use a booster seat until the seat belt fits properly without it.
