If they are NOT 8 yrs or 4'9", but pass the 5-step test, is it still illegal for them to ride without a booster?
DS1 (turns 8 end of Feb) goes home after school with a friend 1x a week and then to Cub Scouts with them. I don't send his booster because he rides in the 3rd row of their Acura MDX and passes the 5 step-test back there (feet touch the ground and belt fits properly). Now that the CA law has been updated, do I need to now send his backless and tell the mom to have him sit in the 2nd row? Or is it ok for him to ride as usual in the back without anything? I'm thinking this is a no-brainer, but I want to be sure before I talk to my friend (the mom).
