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'm a mother of a three month old lil girl hername is emelina and i agree that kids 4 and under need to ride in a child seat or a carseat instead of a seatbelt because if you wreck your child can go through the window or get wiplash or can be killed thats why my daughter rides in a carseat in the backseat instead of the front seat where the airbags are. if you think a child is safe in the front seat you worng because they can be kiled by the airbag thats why your always told to put a child as young as a newborn in the backseat with the front of the carseat facing the front.

The law of Ohio should keep it the same becaus eit is just something new to all teenagers and it will not make a difference to what ever the age is.
