You are required by law to properly use safety seats for infants and

toddlers in the U.S. and Canada.

booster seats until they reach age eight, a height of 4 ft 9 in

(1.45 meters) tall, or 80 lb (36 kg). Check your local and state or

When possible, always properly restrain children twelve (12) years of

age and under in a rear seating position of your vehicle. Accident

statistics suggest that children are safer when properly restrained in

the rear seating positions than in a front seating position.
