Out here in California, the child safety seat law just changed

California Law (Effective 01/01/2012):Children under the age of 8 must be secured in a car seat or booster seat in the back seat.

Children under the age of 8 who are 4' 9" or taller may be secured by a safety belt in the back seat.

The booster seat raises the child up so that the regular seat belt fits them correctly
