Which statement reflects the age threshold for child restraint according to the provided line?

The important rule here is about when a child stops needing a special restraint based on age. In California, children under eight must ride in a proper child safety seat or booster in the rear seat. When a child reaches eight years old (or reaches the height of 4 feet 9 inches), they may ride with a regular seat belt and can ride in the front seat if allowed by the vehicle. So eight years old is the threshold for needing a dedicated child restraint. The other ages listed don’t match this cutoff: six is still under the requirement, while ten and twelve are older than the threshold.
