NEW CAR SEAT LAW effective January 1, 2019

Rear-facing until age 2 or until the child reaches the upper weight or height limit allowed by the child safety seat manufacturer.
Children up to age 8 must be correctly secured in a federally approved child safety seat. This includes booster seats for older kids.
Children up to age 8 must ride in the back seat unless the back seat of the vehicle is not available (children are recommended to ride in the backseat until age 13).
