Child Passenger Restraints Are Not An Option, They Are The Law!
Effective November 24, 2009
- All children must be restrained in an appropriate child restraint system while riding in a motor vehicle, until they reach their 8th birthday.
- An appropriate child restraint system is one that meets the child's size and weight recommended by the manufacturer.
- The safety belt in your vehicle is not designed for children. A booster seat raises your child up so that the safety belt fits your child correctly and provides better protection.
