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.

Thank goodness for child-car-restraint laws that are manditory through-out the country. The lives of many children are saved each year when correct precautions are taken to place children in approved child-restraint-systems. Most laws are good, and are created to protect citizens.
