New Law Regarding Children and Booster Seats
|
"A change to California's Child Passenger Safety Seat law will now require children to
ride in either a car seat or booster seat until the age of eight, or until they reach a height
of 4 feet 9 inches. This law also requires children who do not meet the age or height
requirement to ride in the rear seat of a vehicle unless the vehicle has no back seats, the
restraint system cannot be properly installed or the rear seats are already occupied by
children under age eight. However, the law still maintains that a child may not ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with an active passenger airbag if they are under one year of age,
less than 20 pounds, or riding in a rear-facing child safety seat. (SB 929, Evans)"
(Drivers caught breaking the booster seat law can face fines starting at $475) |

This year, Parents.com readers were most engaged by and roiled up over seven parenting controversies. Read on to find out which big stories made our year-end list.
