If you have all seats in the car occupied by Adults, can a small child sit in lap? Or is it law that child has to sit in a Child Seat only, whatever be the condition?
I understand the safety issue, but what's the law on this?
I believe it says they have to be in some type of child seat until they are 8 years old or 80 lbs. I know the 8/80 is right, I am just not sure how it is worded, but a lap wouldn't be allowed.
why would you even second guess this is beyond me.
Nothing like using a kid as a missile. Front or back adults have to be buckled. its the law
if the kid is younger than 16 they must be fastened
if the kid is less than 8 and only 80 pounds they should have a functional child seat buckleupnc.org
YO you got too many people in the car,someone needs to get out........or maybe one of the adults can sit on another ones lap.the little babous has to be in a child seat buckeled in...lol.
Is the law 8 years old OR 80lbs, or is it 8 years old AND at least 80 lbs? I have an 8 year old, but she doesn't weigh 80 lbs. It would be a shame to get a child-safety-seat ticket my first week in Charlotte.

Yes, it's either or. Otherwise my 14 yo high school freshman would be very upset to still be sitting in a booster seat. She doesn't weigh quite 80 lbs yet either. LOL!!
