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.

The driving age should not be changed because I am a freshman in high school and when I turn 18 I will be out of high school and its not like my parents have nothing to do. I am responsible and you have to admit that some people my age are not but where ever you do something for the first few times you're not to good so no matter what age there are still going to be accidents. If you can put in age limit on driving then you are like putting a limit on the possiblities of life because I won't really be able to do anything till i turn 18 because my parents don't have time to drive me tocollege
