How old should a child be to ride without carseat in Colorado?

In Colorado, there is no age limit for using a car seat. Here's the breakdown of car seat laws:

* Rear-facing: Children under 1 year of age and weighing less than 20 pounds must ride rear-facing.

* Forward-facing: Children must ride forward-facing in a car seat with a harness until they reach the weight and height limit of the manufacturer's recommendations for their car seat.

* Booster seat: Children must use a booster seat until they are 8 years old or are at least 4'9" tall.

Important Note: Even if a child meets the height and weight requirements to move to a booster seat or no longer requires a car seat, it is always safest to keep them in a car seat for as long as possible.

For more detailed information on Colorado car seat laws, you can visit the Colorado Department of Transportation website.
