Car Seat Safety

If your child is under the age of 8 and/or less than 80 pounds then by law they need a car seat.

Please be mindful that the law exists for the safety of our children. Although not law, if your child is older than 8 but small, you should consider keeping them in a booster until they are 80 pounds.

How do I know what seat my child needs?

Criteria	Type of Car Seat
Weight: Less than 20 pounds Age: Less than 1 year old	Rear-facing car seat
Weight: 20-40 pounds	Forward-facing car seat
Weight: 40-80 pounds Age: Less than 8 years old	booster seat (child's head should not be above the booster seat)

When can my child sit in the front seat?

Children 12 years of age and younger should not be in the front seat of your vehicle. An airbag deployment can seriously injure a child.
