A child has just turned eight but weighs 55 pounds. May an adult seat belt alone replace the required child restraint?
Correct answer: No. The child has not reached the 60-pound weight threshold.
Why
Keep this child in an appropriate approved restraint or booster. An adult belt alone becomes a statutory option only at age eight or older AND a weight of at least 60 pounds. Continue to use a restraint that fits correctly, and use both lap and shoulder belts with a booster.
