Under Assembly Bill 435, California is revising its regulations for child passenger safety. Currently, most children transition out of booster seats by age 8. But starting in 2027, kids aged 8 to 16 must. If they do not meet all five criteria, they’ll need to stay in a car seat that offers better protection, and families who don’t comply could face fines of up to $490.

Well, That’s Fantastic [WTF].
A girl I know is 28 and stands about 4’6”
I’m old enough to remember dad’s arm holding me back from kissing the dashboard of his 49 Buick ragtop, but picturing putting a 15 year-old in a car seat to drop him or her off to high school...
What Is the 5-Step Seat Belt Fit Test?
Here’s how the test works. A child must:
1 Sit with their back flat against the seat.
2 Bend their knees naturally at the seat’s edge.
3 Have the lap belt rest low across their hips, not the stomach.
4 Have the shoulder belt lie across the chest and shoulder, not the neck or face.
5 Be able to stay seated properly for the entire ride without slouching or moving out of position.
If a child fails to meet even one of these requirements, using a regular seat belt becomes unsafe.
Pass a 5-Step Seat Belt Fit Test before they can ride without a car seat or booster.
I’ve been driving for over 40 years and still can’t pass #5.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!! California is run by MORONS!!
Will booster seats be required when riding on their high speed rail service?
Most likely.
Michael Brown was 6’ 4” tall and 220lb teenager.
16 YEAR OLD FOOTBALL PLAYERS WILL BE JUST THRILLED-———
ALSO WRESTLERS
Just when you think Commiefornia couldn’t get any stupider, they go off and pull this little doozy.
“I’ve been driving for over 40 years and still can’t pass #5.”
Good one.:)
ROFL... so at 15 you still have to be in a booster seat while learning to drive with your learner’s permit.
And that didn’t stop his fate.
California is being run by gangsters who stiff the taxpayers and pad their pockets. It’s all islamocommies (formerly known as as demoncrats) do!
Oregon is getting just as bad.
Soon people living blue states will have to pay 25$ every time they flush the toilet and they will also have to pay 300$ to have a flush meter installed.
Maybe the uber driver will need a booster seat.
Is still OK to smuggle in child illegals in the back of trucks?
So....kids who pass their drivers ed and get their license have to use a safety seat?
This has to be Babylon Bee.
No idiot thinks a 16 year old boy, like mine who topped 6’ at 16, needs a safety seat.
Absurd.
Hey, if it’s good enough for Seattle mayor Katie Wilson, it’s good enough for California student drivers.
