As previously stated, it depends on your home state's law. However, in Texas all children younger than 8 years old, unless taller than 4'9", are required to be in the appropriate child safety seat system wherever they ride in a passenger vehicle. The safety seat system MUST be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Another way of saying this is: When a child reaches their 8th birthday - no matter their height, it is legal for the child to use only the adult safety belt in the passenger vehicle.

However, the best safety practice is: if the child is not yet 4'9", they are better protected if they continue to use the appropriate child safety seat system until they can properly fit in the adult safety belt.

It varies with state laws. Check with your local DMV office.

I'm not sure what the law says there, but it's not a good idea to have children shorter than 5 feet sit in the front seat ever.
