Question: What is the legal age that a child can be to be able to ride in a car with an adult seat belt on. Not a car seat?
Answer: Arizona Law (ARS 28-907) requires that children under the age of 5 be properly secured in a child passenger restraint system, meaning a car seat.
However, several studies have shown that regular seatbelts do not adequately protect children in the event of an accident. Many auto parts stores sell devices that attach to a regular seatbelt and allow you to adjust the belt to better fit your child. and these are generally under $20.

I am a mother of 3. My children are 2,4 and 6. I think that you should just set an age for a child to be out of a car seat. Children come in all different sizes. Someone should do a study on weight and heigh to determine this question about when a child shouldnt have to be in a seat belt. All three of my kids are still in a carseat. I am just not completely satisfied on just age 5. If your child is five, but is the size of a 4 year old, do you still take them out of their carseat?
