FAQ
Florida law requires children age 5 and under to be secured properly in a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device. Children ages 0 to 3 must be in child restraint devices of a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child seat.
Front Seat Requirements In Florida While Florida law doesn't explicitly require children to ride in the back seat, many car manufacturers advise against allowing kids to sit in the front until they reach 13 years of age.
That's not legal or safe. There's no booster that allows kids under 40 lbs and the bare minimum age is 4yo and most kids aren't remotely mature enough at 4 for a regular booster let alone a backless one. It's not worth the risk.
Children in Florida may cease using a booster seat when they reach 4 feet 9 inches in height or eight years of age, whichever comes first. If your child is under 4 feet 9 inches tall or is less than eight years old but weighs more than 40 pounds, they must use a booster seat in Florida.
Children age 12 and under should travel in the back seat. If a child does not appear to be within the height and weight safety requirements for the car seat, or if a driver otherwise feels that the child cannot be safely transported in the seat, the driver can cancel the ride.
If a child must ride in the front seat for any reason, the front seat air bag should be OFF, the car seat or booster needs to be secured and the seat pushed back as far as possible. Never place a rear-facing child in the front seat of a vehicle unless the front air bag can be switched OFF manually (by hand).
Failure to follow these laws could result in a $60 fine and three points against the supervising adult's driver's license. Florida law states: Children five years old or younger must be secured in a federally approved child restraint system.
StateSummary of State's Law California State law requires children to be at least 8 years old and more than 57 inches tall to legally sit in the front seat.
