Child safety laws in CA?

my step daughter is almost 7 years old (in feb) and she weighs about 50 lbs. what are the laws as far as booster seats, and back seat/ front seat? in california.

Bear in mind that even though she 'passes' by law... she isn't necessarily ready to ride without a booster seat. I've often been told "The laws of Physics don't change state to state" and very few state laws recommend the best safety practices.

This page: http://www.carseat.org/Boosters/630.htm
Gives the 'best practices' answer to when she can ditch the booster or ride in the front seat. I'd take that over what California said any day... it will certainly fulfill the law and then some.

In California, car seat laws err further on the side of caution than many other states. California state law requires children to ride in a federally approved baby car seat or child booster seat until they are at least 6 years old or weigh at least 60 pounds. California also requires children under age 16 to be buckled up with a seat belt.
