"Booster seats are necessary when a child outgrows his/her child safety seat, usually after 40 pounds or age 4. Children do not fit in adult shoulder/lap belts (without a booster seat) until they are 58 inches tall (with a sitting height of 29 inches) and weigh 80 pounds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)." Here's a helpful link... http://www.healthsystem.Virginia.edu/UVAHealth/peds_safety/mvseats.cfm
A child must be at least 25 kilograms or nine years of age before being able to leave the booster seat
A child has to be four - six years of age before being able to ride without a booster. It is weight dependant and most booster seats will tell you the maximum weight or age on the packaging.
Contact the Department of Motor Vehicles or a local Florida Child Protective Agency. They will have all of the information on the laws for child safety restraints. I do not believe that Florida has a booster seat law however my child is 6 weighs 45lbs and she is in a booster seat. They are not only safer than a regular seat belt for children but they will raise them enough to be able to see out the windows and they are very comfortable.
There are many fun booster seats that could be a great option for you. They come in all shapes and decorations you just need to find the one your child likes. Take your child to the store and let them choose; im sure they will be able to find a comfortable and fun seat.
The State child support agency should be able to tell you this. Be patient but persistent.
If the custody agreement specifies that the father needs your written permission to take the child out of the state of Georgia, and you deny him permission, then legally he would not be able to take the child out of the state without facing potential consequences such as violating the custody agreement. It is important to follow the terms of the custody agreement in order to avoid any legal issues.
Speak to a lawyer he/she will be able to tell you what your rights are in your state.
Yes. Your State's child support agency should be able to help you with this.
The State might suspend your drivers license.
If you receive state benefits, the state child support agency will contact you for information about the non-custodial parent. This is to ensure that the NCP reimburses the State, to the extent that s/he is able, for medical and other benefits it pays on the child's behalf. If you are receiving cash assistance (TANF), the State will retain the child support to reimburse for that expense.
The State child support agencies should be able to coordinate this (note that I said, "should.")
If anyone goes to their insurance company, the insurance company will be able to answer or at least look up the answer for you. AAA is REALLY GOOD for having answers like this.
