Specifically booster laws. I just got a message on my facebook from a friend asking about the CA laws because she's afraid her friend is going to get a ticket. I figure I can tell her the laws as well as send along some best practice stuff. TIA!

Thanks Lisa! That's 6 or 60 lbs then, right? The booster law that is? Also, Tucker is so cute in that pic with her Joovy baby doll seat!

6 or 60 AND proper use (in any seat, they don't distinguish harness from booster). That means if a little kid doesn't fit without a booster, they can get a ticket for the kid not fitting in the seatbelt right (or FF before a year if the carseat says RF to a year, or whatever other misuses you can think of). That's why Arnold won't change the carseat law for older kids, he figures they are already covered by the proper use clause.
