[quote=Anonymous]The law in DC, VA, & MD requires kids up to the age of 8 to be in an appropriate child restraints (slight variation among states). While state laws tell you what to do, they are best regarded as a minimum. Best practices dictate that your child should remain in a car seat (most likely a booster) until they can sit in the vehicle seat with the vehicle seat belt properly fit and the child remaining in position for the entire ride. While 8 is the magic "legal" age for children to be restrained solely by the vehicle seat belt, checking the fit of your child in the seat belt in the vehicle is much more important at 8. Carseat laws say what they will; the laws of physics apply in every state and jurisdiction.[/quote]
