I live in Alabama. I have a car seat rear-facing child that I believe originally came with a base, but I have that. It has instructions printed on it for use without the base. If you have a web sight that I could check on the specific law, I would appreciate it. The baby is 8 months old.
Whether or not be used without the base depends on the location. Check the manual. If you do not have the manual, find the model number, number serial and date of manufacture on a label on the seat and go online to the manufacturers and, most likely you can download. there is no law against it. Unless some States have a right to "appropriate use" provisions in their car seat, so technically, if they misuse their breaking the law, lol. Ok is worth noting: Did you get the seat, new or used? Its really dangerous to get a used car seat unless it comes from a trusted friend or family member and are 100% positive: 1) have never been in any wreck 2) has all original parts, including manual 3) are never dropped, which means that he has never shown as checked in airport or, as this often occurs when control or gate checked. 4) is less than 6 years, 5) the straps have not been completely submerged or washed with anything other than a mild soap (it messes up the flame retardent treatment) If you do not trust the seller to the life of your child, do not buy a car seat from them. U.S. $ 40 you can get a Cosco Scenera from Walmart. He faces a whopping 35 pounds back, which is important b / c children should remain rear-facing as much as possible, the American Academy of Pediatrics says keep them looking back, preferably during their first 2 years of life. Then it goes to 40 pounds face to face. The child will not last forever forward facing, like some others, but for $ 40, is good business. Or, call your local police station and ask about seats car. Most have programs in place to provide free / low car seat cost to families in need. Moreover, at 8 months old, there's a good chance that your baby has passed the seat. The rear seats are removed when they face: 1) the weight limit of 22 pounds is reached in most companies or 2) there are less than 1 "of the seat above the child's head. Make sure he / she still fits correctly. And if you use the seat, get rid of it and get a convertible seat instead, but keep looking back until your child turns 30, limit 35 pounds facing the rear or at least 2 years old. Even the seats that say you can use without the base are often very difficult to do thesedays. Its incredibly inconvenient to have to install / uninstall seat every time you get in and out of the car.
