I tried to get my pa to ride in the booster seat because he is gettin' kinda short in his old age but he just refuses. You think your 5-year old is stubborn? You ain't never dealt with pa.
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.
The same booster seat laws which apply to passenger cars are applicable in a commercial vehicle, as well. Anything else is a matter of what the company's rider policy is, and what the insurance provider will allow.
It's not about how tall you are, this is from the NY State Ploice website. New York's Occupant Restraint laws require the following: Children up to the age of 4 must be properly restrained in a federally approved child safety seat that is attached to a vehicle by a seat belt or universal child restraint anchorage (LATCH) system. Children less than age 4 but weighing more than 40 pounds may be restrained in a booster seat with a lap/shoulder safety belt. Children ages 4, 5, 6 and 7 must be properly secured in an appropriate child restraint system, one for which the child meets the height and weight recommendations of the child restraint manufacturer.* An appropriate child restraint system is one that meets the child's size and weight recommended by the manufacturer. A vehicle's safety belt is NOT a child restraint system. Children riding in booster seats must be secured with a combination lap/shoulder seat belt, NEVER secure a child in a booster seat with only a lap belt. From the age of 8 until they reach their 16th birthday, children must be restrained in a seat belt when they ride in the back seat. Front seat passengers must be properly restrained at all times, regardless of age. Children 12 years and younger should ride in the back seat. By simply buckling up your child in the back seat reduces his/her risk of death by 33%. *It is recommended that booster seats be used until your child is 4 foot 9 inches tall or weighs 100 pounds.
In Michigan, a child 4 years of age may ride in the front seat of a vehicle if all other seats are taken by children under the age of 4. A rear-facing car seat can be placed in the front seat if the airbag is turned off.
the age that you need to be to ride in the front seat of the car is 12
in all states a child has to be 4foot nine to be out of a booster seat. they can be in a booster sear at any age.
10 years
The Booster offers safe, comfortable rides for someones child. Moving from a car seat to a booster seat still helps the child remain safe, while riding comfortably in the booster seat.
7 years pld
8 years old
It's usually determined by a child's height, not age. Once they pass 4'5" (in my municipality) they no longer have to ride in a car seat.
If your talking about the booster seat without a back then NO, It is not safe for the child to ride with only a lap belt.
they have to be 12 years old
Yes, but if there is a air bag it has to be turned off and the child must be in a booster seat.
Your best bet is to contact your local law enforcement agency and they will provide the details for you as each state is different and the laws could be in the process of changing.
They find it either A uncool B uncomfortable Many 7 yr olds that ride n booster seats are called babies and losers, making them 100% HATE the booster seat they are in. It makes them "Grown Up" being in a car without a booster seat.
12 and older can ride in the front , legally 7 and under and 80 lbs must wear a booster seat
