FAQ
Current California Law: (California Vehicle Code Section 27360.) Children under the age of 8 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat in the back seat. Children who are 8 years of age OR have reached 4'9” in height may be secured by a booster seat, but at a minimum must be secured by a safety belt.
The bill would require all children younger than 10 to use booster seats and bar all those under 13 from sitting in the front seat. The pending measure also would require children as old as 13 to use a booster seat unless they meet the same size criteria.
To answer the question when can a child sit in the front seat, in California, children are permitted to sit in the front seat of a vehicle if they are at least 8 years old, or 4'9″ in height, and always secured by a safety belt.
In 2002, California was the first state to pass a law regarding booster seats. The law ensures all children below 40 lbs remain in some sort of child safety restraint system. Since then, all states have had some sort of safety restraint law for older kids up to age 5-8.
California law does not specify when a child may graduate from a five-point harness to a booster seat. You can typically consider allowing a child to sit in a booster seat when they're between 40 and 65 pounds. At this point, they likely will have outgrown the weight and height limit of a child car seat.
There is no specific age when a child should switch from a car seat to a booster seat. A child is ready for a booster seat when they have outgrown the height or weight limit of their 5-point harness car seat. Kids are generally between the ages of 5-9 when they begin to outgrow these limitations.
