Answer Wiki. While the law definitely varies from state to state, children, cars, and driving practices don't, really. The California Motor Vehicle Code (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop...), as Chloe states, allows children to stop using car seats at 40lbs in the back seat provided there are no shoulder belts.
Let a not-quite-ready cantaloupe ripen at room temperature for up to 2 days (keeping it in a closed paper bag will speed up the process). Refrigerate a whole ripe melon for up to 5 days. For cut wedges of cantaloupe, cover the surfaces and refrigerate for up to 3 days. (If possible, leave the seeds intact. They prevent the flesh from drying out.) Cubes without the seeds will last 1 to 2 days in a resealable container in the refrigerator.
Overripe melons often have a very strong cantaloupe fragrance. When you cut the melon open, you want flesh that's firm, fully colored, and juicy. If your cantaloupe is mushy, you can still freeze it, but it will emerge from the freezer with a mushier texture. Look for locally grown watermelons at nearby farmers' markets. You can also grow you own if you have a long enough growing season. Just be sure you have enough room for vines to sprawl.
