The law says that all children up to 135cm tall (around 4'5"), or the age of 12, whichever comes first, in the front or rear seats in cars, vans and other goods vehicles must travel in the correct child restraint for their weight with very few exceptions.

This question is being asked over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. The law in all states is different. Some states give an age, some states give a height and weight formula. YOU will have to check the DMV regulations of YOUR own state!
