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.
Note: Recipes that require just the juice of the melon (and not the fruit) are easy to make ahead. Simply freeze the juice into ice cube trays and store the cubes in a freezer bag for when you need them. You can make mixed drinks and other treats all year long!
