Age & Weight Limits for Booster Seats With a Five-Point Harness in California

While some states stipulate a height requirement for car seats and booster seats, California concentrates primarily on age and weight requirements.
Weight

In California, if children weigh less than 20 pounds, they must be in a rear-facing car seat in the back seat if there is one. If they weigh more than 20 pounds, depending on their age, you can face them forward, still in a car seat. Children more than 40 pounds may be strapped into a booster seat using the car seat belts. They must be in a booster seat until they weigh 60 pounds or more.
Age
-
In California, children under one year of age must be in a rear-facing car seat. If the child is more than one-year-old and also meets the weight requirement, they can face forward. There is no age requirement for transitioning to a booster seat, but children must remain in a booster seat until they are six-years-old or meet the weight requirement.
