Answer 1

It isn't really what age kids can get out of a car seat.  It really depends on their height and weight.  Try these sites for some laws on the use of car seats:

Answer 3

Children should rearface until they reach the limits of their seats (at least 30-35lbs)

Children should sit in forward facing harnessed seats until at least 4 years AND 40lbs but it's safer longer if they fit in the seat.

Children need to sit in a booster with seatbelt until they reach approximately 4 feet 9 inches tall and the seatbelt fits them appropriately.
