is ther a new law for car seats in ca. that states a child must be 80lbs. or 8 years old not to be in a car s?

Answer 1

children must be secured in a safety seat until they are at least 6 years old or weigh at least 60 pounds. Current law requires children up to 4 years old and 40 pounds to be secured in car seats.

Child should use booster seat if:
Weighs 40-80 pounds. Seat belts don't fit properly until children weigh about 80 pounds and are 4'9" tall.
