Kids under the age of 8 years old, or under 4 feet 9 inches tall, must be
properly buckled into a car or booster seat, and put in the back seat.
Additionally, children who are 8 or older and not tall enough for the seat
belt to fit properly must also ride in a booster or car seat.
This law isn't to create inconvenience, it's to keep your child alive and
unhurt. And for those who choose not to follow it, not only are they
endangering their child, they face fines up to $475.
In case you need a refresher on when your child is cleared to sit with only
an adult seat belt, the California Office of Child Safety offers this:
They can sit against the vehicle seat back with their knees bent without
slouching and can comfortably stay in this position throughout the trip.
The lap belt is low on the hips touching the upper thighs and the
shoulder belt crosses the chest, but is not on the face or neck.
Never let your child put the shoulder belt behind their arm or back. In
a crash, the child could sustain major injuries including head and spinal
cord injuries.
If the child is putting the shoulder belt behind them, this is a sign
that they still need a booster.
