- Title
- Motor vehicles; child passenger restraint systems, use further provided
- Description
Under existing law, children are required to use child passenger restraint systems based on their age and weight. Specifically, children are required to use rear-facing car seats until at least one year of age or 20 pounds; forward-facing convertible seats until at least five years of age or 40 pounds; and booster seats until at least six years of age.
This bill would revise the weight and age ranges for determining the appropriate child passenger restraint system and would increase penalties associated with a violation.
