It is different for every state. Some are an age, weight, or height, or any combination of the three. Michigan is over 4' 9" There is no age or weight qualification.
Call your local police dept. or state police post and ask. They will be happy to help.

Children have to be a certain age and weight. Its not only a height but they must be a specific weight. Remember, the most important thing is the safety of the child. If the child is not safe being held with a seat belt, keep them in the car seat and vice versa. If the child does not fit right in the car seat, then make the proper adjustments. The website listed below has all the States. Click on the one where you live and it will give you the laws in the particular state you live in. SAFETY of child is the main concern.

depending on what state you live in....most of the states say that a child needs to be atleast 35-40 lbs. But I know that other states say that a child can sit in a seatbelt at age 4.

It received't look after her. The booster field says 3 years, 30 lbs, and 37 inches. even with the indisputable fact that, many states say 4 yrs, 40 lbs, and 40 seven inches. it truly is the minimum, no longer what it may be. analyze have shown boosters to do surely no longer some thing in a aspect impact crash (the most likely style) and they do no longer some thing in a roll over in any respect. it truly is not any longer almost as secure as a 5 pt harness. I have a Britax Regent seat in my vehicle and it truly is for my nephew--i do not actually have youthful toddlers and that i went out and offered a three hundred greenback vehicle seat on my replace instructor earnings (low) because I fee vehicle seat protection. imagine of it this kind: how in charge ought to you sense in case you purchased right into a crash, and heaven forbid, your daughter changed into seriously injured or killed and also you knew you should save her in a 5 pt harness till she changed into eighty lbs? way safer thanks to bypass. The Regent is an exceedingly cumbersome seat, the acceptable selection in case you do not opt to spend that a lot and area is an argument, bypass with the ordinary youthful toddlers Radian eighty seat--it truly is narrower (you could fit 3 by the back seat of a vehicle). you want a seat with a severe weight decrease and that has a metallic body, no longer merely plastic. The Graco Nautilus is plastic, as are all of the different manufacturers of seats with severe weight limits. Britax and Fisher fee make seats that bypass to sixty 5 lbs in a 5 pt harness and performance an analogous metallic body interior them. you don't want a plastic body--you want a plastic coated metallic body. vehicle seats with plastic frames were shown to fall apart upon impact at speeds as low as 27-30 mph (vehicle seats are crash examined at 25 mph--it truly is the marketplace prevalent). Britax and Sunshine youthful toddlers try theirs at 40-40 5 mph because the minimum. i will pay for protection any day!
