When is a child old enough to wear a standard seat belt?



    




Friendly Stranger..
Here is what the law states regarding seat belt safety and children.

SAFETY BELTS at age 8 and older or taller than 4'9". All children age 12 and under should ride in the back seat.

If your child weigh 40lb or more, he/she still needs a booster but can use normal seat belt.

Height is to factor to loose the booster, just stop by your fire department building, they will advice you properly.

laws very state by state, hieght,wieght, and age.

the answer to your question depends on where you live. Many states have laws about when a child can wear a seat belt without a booster seat or anything.

I would say 10 or 12.


UCANTCME
Special and proper restraints are considered for children, as the motor riding depends upon the age and size of the children and also the seats are designed depending upon the age and size.

Children under the age of 12 should ride in the safest place preferably in the back seat of the car.

A child should face the rear side of the car and while facing the rear side car safety seats for infants, shoulder straps must be in the lowest point and until the infant's shoulders are above it.
