Car Seat Laws By State

September 26th, 2011

Laws in most states are for children in car seats to be rear facing  until 1 in most states but HIGHLY recommend rear facing until two for safety and a lot of states are pushing for the law to be rear-facing until two.  If you are looking for a car seat make sure that you can keep your child rear-facing until two years old so you don’t have to buy a new one if they change the law.  As a general rule children should be in a car seat until 4 years old and 40 lbs.  Booster seat until 8 years old and 80 lbs. Remember to not relay on this list for current law in your state.  Use this as a guide but make sure you follow the laws that are current in your particular state
