New requirements will go into effect on January 1, 2020 regarding children riding in cars. New requirements include:
- Children up to age two must be in a rear-facing car seat.
- Children from ages two to four must be in a forward-facing car seat.
- After age four, children under 4’9’’ must be in a booster seat, which can mean up to ages 10 – 12.
Even at relatively low speeds such as 30 mph, children who don’t have the extra support of a car seat or booster seat can get severe, completely preventable injuries. Get more info here.
