Child Restraint Laws

Child restraint laws require children to be secured in appropriate car seats or booster seats based on their age, size, and weight to ensure safety during travel. These laws vary by state but generally mandate that younger children use car seats until they reach specific age or size limits, then transition to booster seats, and eventually seat belts as they grow older. Proper use of these restraints reduces the risk of injury in crashes. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local regulations to keep children safe and compliant with the law.
