From what i understand, a child should be in a child safety seat until the age of 8. I would recommend checking with your state and local laws to avoid conflict with the police.
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.
That depends on the state you live in each state has different child restraint laws. Call either your local police department or district health unit.
In the State of California there are no laws for an eleven year old riding in the front seat. Instead the state only offers a prevention tip: A child should be at least 12yrs of age before they ride in the front seat of a car. Studies have shown that children younger than 12 are not able to handle the impact caused by a frontal crash. There is less impact to the child if they are in the back seat. The only laws regarding child car safety are: * an infant weighing 20lbs or less must be in a rear facing car seat * an infant wieghing 20-40lbs must be in a forward facing car seat * preschoolers must be in a booster seat until they are 6yrs old or 60lbs.

A 5'7" child can't fit in a child safety seat. Many adults are 5'7".
Yes. The 6-year-old should be in a child safety seat in the back yard. Probably the 8 year old should be as well.
A 9 year old child can ride in the front seat of a car. It is important that they are buckled in and can sit still.
Its not the fine that you should worry about but the welfare of the child.
It depends on the laws of your state.
