You drive your niece to school. She is 7 years old and 4 feet 10 inches tall, and she sits in a back seat that has a safety belt. What does Texas law require?
Correct answer: A safety belt, because she is taller than 4 feet 9 inches and needs no child seat.
Why
Adult belts are made for adult bodies, so a small child can be hurt by a belt that does not fit; a child seat that meets federal crash-test standards protects the child until the belt fits. Use the seat as the maker's instructions say. The driver is responsible: a fine can follow for a child under 8 who is 4 feet 9 inches or shorter and not in a child seat, and for a passenger under 17 without a belt.
