This is regulated individually by each state/country, so you should check with the driving manual or on the dmv website of the state/country where you are driving. Typically, there is a weight limit for the child, under which they need to be in a car seat. Above that weight, a seat-belt is fine. 80 lbs is about the norm. Some states have different rules for children under 45 lbs.

Your child needs to be at least 8 or 9.

In the UK, your child must use a car seat until they are 12 years old or 135cm tall (whichever comes first).

in Canada, we go by weight not age and the weight is over 36kg (80lbs)

age is approxamitly 8 yrs old but you should make sure your child can sit with a seat belt on properly.

if they are too short then buy a booster seat that is the correct height

any questions email me at

If a child is between the age of 1-4 he/she has to use a car seat. But once the child is 5yrs or older it's up to parent(s)/guardian.
