Motor Vehicle crashes are one of the leading causes of death for young children. A minor crash or even a sudden stop can seriously injure a child who is not riding in the right type of child safety seat.
Massachusetts Laws Now Requires
- Infants and children must ride in a federally approved child passenger restraint until they are at least 5 years old and weigh more than 40 pounds.
- Children older than 5 and more than 40 pounds must ride in a booster seat until the child is 8 years old or is taller than 4 feet 9 inches.
- Anyone over the age of 8 must be protected by a safety belt.
Reminders
- The safest place for any child, in any restraint system, is in the back seat.
- You are your child’s most powerful role model so always wear your safety belt—and make sure everyone else in the car is buckled up—front seat and back!
