Child Car Seat Requirements
Florida law requires children under 5 years of age to be properly restrained no matter where they are seated in the vehicle. Children through age 3 must be secured in a separate carrier (child safety seat) or in a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child safety seat. For children ages 4 - 5, a separate carrier, an integrated child safety seat, or a safety belt may be used. If a safety belt does not fit the child correctly, a booster set should be used to correctly position the lap and shoulder belts once they outgrow forward facing child safety seats (generally at about 40 pounds and 4 years old). Children from approximately 40-80 pounds and under 4'9" in height should ride in a booster seat.

hope this helps

You don't need a car seat for a 6 yr old.

In Florida.


Which freaks me out, b/c it's such a tourist state, so you get people in unfamiliar cars driving unfamiliar roads, just primed for an accident. Seems they should have higher carseat requirements than other states!

I mean, I'm 5'3", and NO seatbelt fits me properly, especially in a back seat. Hard to imagine it fits a 6 year old!

We rented a car in Oct and our son was not quite (but just about 6) and they didn't even ask about a car seat.

Thank you, My daughter uses a booster seat but when we fly there were going to family's house that has a spare we can use.I just didn't want to pay the $50.00 a day fee.

I didn't add Florida because I thought it was self explanatory-Disney is in Florida isn't it?

About the tourist state, of course they don't, you don't bite the hand that feeds you!
