Explanation
In California, all children under 8 years old or under 4 feet 9 inches tall must use a child passenger restraint system while riding in a vehicle. This is to ensure their safety in the event of an accident. However, if a child is 8 years old or older or has reached at least 4 feet 9 inches in height, they may use a safety belt as long as it meets federal safety standards.
