Does anyone not know if it is the law in Florida for 7 yr olds to have to be in a car seat?

this is taken from the florida state troopers website

Step 1: Babies from birth to one year AND 20 pounds ride in rear-facing child seats.

Step 2: Toddlers from one year to age four (& 40 lbs.) ride in forward-facing child seats.

Step 3: Children ages four (& 40 lbs) - eight (or 4'9" tall) should ride in booster seats.

Step 4: Children over age eight (or 4’9" tall) may use vehicle's seat belt.

ALL children 12 and under should ride in the back seat of a vehicle.

hope this helps

Thats great!!! Thank you so much!

I think she may be in between booster at the moment or by the time we go just vehicle belt, as she's a very tall girl.

Thanks again!
