What age or weight or what height before a child gets out of carseat?

The safest place for a child under 12, often required by law, is in the back seat. Many states are seeking to change their laws to require children stay in restraints through 8 years and 80 pounds. These laws are the minimum requirements. Children are safer riding in booster seats through 80 pounds than using the vehicle's seats and restraint systems designed for adults. You must adhere to the regulations of the state you are driving in or follow your home state's regulations. Automobiles and their safety belts are designed with the average sized adult man in mind. They, therefore, can not adequately protect a small child.

It depends on the state. If you are not sure what the rules for weight are, check with your ER at your local hospital. They are not to release a child to its parents until the parents sign a form that the child will be in a car seat.

The weight requirement for California is 60 pounds.

Read the specifications of your car seat. After a car seat a child needs to be in a booster seat until they are 4'9"
