How old does your child have to be before they can come out of there car seat in Florida?

Answer 1

Amazingly, Florida lets kids out of car seats at a fairly young age.

Here's some info from the "source":

Florida law requires children under 5 years of age to be properly restrained no matter where they are seated in the vehicle. Children through age 3 must be secured in a separate carrier (child safety seat) or in a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child safety seat. For children ages 4 - 5, a separate carrier, an integrated child safety seat, or a safety belt may be used. If a safety belt does not fit the child correctly, a booster set should be used to correctly position the lap and shoulder belts once they outgrow forward facing child safety seats (generally at about 40 pounds and 4 years old). Children from approximately 40-80 pounds and under 4'9" ion height should ride in a booster seat.

Answer 2

Florida state law requires children under age 5 to be protected with an approved and properly used child restraint device. For children under 3, Florida law requires that they be in a separate car seat or a car seat that is integrated into the vehicle. For children ages 4 and 5, a separate car seat, integrated car seat or seat belt may be used.

Answer 3

If Florida's laws are like California's, it is the height and weight of the child that determines when it is safe to come out of the car seat. Check your state's website. The info should be available online.
